Solo Harp Improvisation

Limited vinyl LP pressing features an etched lotus flower pattern design incorporating her Sanskrit name Turiyasangitananda on Side 2. This archive release contains a previously unissued recording of a nine minute solo harp improvisation by multi-instrumentalist Alice Coltrane (wife of jazz legend John Coltrane) in a rare appearance performing at the Palace Of Culture. Alice Coltrane was an uncompromising pianist, composer and bandleader, who spent the majority of her life seeking spiritually in both music and her private life. Music ran in Alice Coltrane's family; her older brother was bassist Ernie Farrow, who in the '50s and '60s played in the bands of Barry Harris, Stan Getz, Terry Gibbs, and Yusef Lateef.
