alice coltrane's love supreme

[zenbooter]

one thing i know now for sure,,these wonderful people are my proof of God's great grace,,,how infinitely privliged we are,fussin around with all these wars and such foolishness

[kuglepen64]

That initial call... still so immense.

[drmikebluez]

I was blesses to hear them play with Ravi Shankar, and Pharoah Sanders at a John Coltrane memorial concert at UCLA's Royce Hall in the early '90s. Fantastic!

[watwatwhywat]

fuck that sounds soooo awesome. jealous

[TLGaspard]

Thank you for posting this. I was lucky enough to attend this concert, which unfortunately was Alice Coltrane's final concert. If someone has a decent recording of the concert, please release it, since it was a magical night . I will never forget when Ravi introduced the band before the break, and when he got to Alice, he said "the most influential person in my life, my mother, Alice Coltrane" The crowd at the Masonic Temple instantly stood and roared. We all were in tears.

[MANDALA412]

magical.

[jinalanguniafrika]

what?!! ravi does his thing......

[chipstern]

The fact that he does not simply emulate his father is a testament to his musicianship, let alone his understanding of his father's music.

Ravi has his own sound, a lovely tone, and a releaxed rhythmic conception.

He is still growing, like most of us, but he has accomplished a lot, and I find the dimissive comments willfully petty and trite and uninformed about the process of becoming a creative musician.

[MINMICHELE67]

Was lucky beyond belief to get free tickets to this show....

The only word to describe the effect it had on us is 'transformative'

On the way home from the show, we turned on the radio and quickly turned it off... it all sounded dull and ordinary compared to what we just experienced. In fact, we did not listen to any other music for a few days after.

Thank you Alice.

Great music. Beautiful family. Great beliefs and spiritual passion. A belief so deep that many people may not fully understand at first glance.

:) peace

[MuzikJunkyAES]

Word. Talk to Flying Lotus, Alice's great-nephew, and hear him expound on the mystical properties of green tea, for example. Peace.

Arthur Rhames was the true heir to the throne, not Ravi. Sorry.

[leskromer]

I saw Rhames in Willasau Switzerland in 1981 with Rashid Ali and it was the high point of a 4 day jazz festival. He was truly amazing for his young age. Too bad he died so young

[decay789]

Ravi should of studied his father's music more, oh well.

[rhinoman525]

well put, I was sitting here thinking to myself I can play this tune better...

[dalung]

Same goes for most offspring of legends.

[chrissax87]

hey man, it's not about playing a tune JUST LIKE your pop. it's about expounding yourself in it. Ravi does well to find his own path and sound despite having John Coltrane for a father. I'd like to see you touch people the way that he obviously has in a live setting.

[gedibear]

(n)osensei...you little puppet...excitement is a gift from God too. You seem to be too aloof to have any connection with God. Home training...prick.

[osensei2987]

How do you replace a Coltrane, lest one be sent by God? People of her stature are born of spirit. No earthy process can produce one such as she was.

[Superphilipp]

Yeah. And maybe it's just natural talen, lots and lots of practice, and a bit of good fortune.

[osensei2987]

It's obvious that you dont know of whom, or what you are speaking! Go listen to some Malmsteen and some G3 noob!

[Timbzy]

Turd

[everyoneisjosh]

At least they reckognize the tune! That's worth something, no?

[osensei2987]

It really pisses me that ppl cheer through the introduction to "A Love Supreme"! Uncouth idiots! No manners! No home training and ignorant to the fact they they are uncultured! Give them credit for even being present tho! They could have been at a 50cent concert!

[Superphilipp]

Dipshit. Cheering is a GOOD thing.

[osensei2987]

You are an oaf! You have not been raised and properly educated. You cheer at the end of a piece of music, not during it's performance. Anyone trained in etiquette knows this. This was not a Van Halen concert imbecile! When someone plays Coltrane ppl want to hear the subtly of the music, not a bunch of morons cheering!

[Superphilipp]

Maybe this was after a solo, or they transitioned from a different piece.

[Superphilipp]

Or this was the band's introduction.

[JColm]

Be sure to check out her album, Ptah the El Doaud

She is a goddess. Her music changed my life. Goddess bless her soul.

[indigowaves]

Simply gorgeous.

She was nastyyyyy this night. I believe it was her last public performance?. (Mate, you must have been sitting right behind me during her concert.)

Thank you for every thing Swamini Turiyasangitananda.

[friendlier]

I don't understand how her music was not more known, especially Lord of Lords and World Galaxy. There is nothing else like it anywhere.

[BLactacus]

I was at this show! So beautiful! Rest in Peace, Alice.

[valjazz]

May you rest in peace, along with John, Alice Coltrane.
