Alice Coltrane (August 27, 1937 January 12, 2007) was an American jazz pianist, organist, harpist, composer, and the wife of John Coltrane.



Journey In Satchidananda was the fourth solo album by Alice Coltrane which also featured the great Pharoah Sanders. Its title (and title track) reflects Coltrane's inspiration by Swami Satchindananda, to who she had become close, and whose disciple she was.

Swami Satchidananda (born as C.K. Ramaswamy Gounder; from December 22, 1914 - to August 19, 2002) was an Indian religious teacher, spiritual master and yoga adept, who gained fame and following in the West, during his time in New York. He was the author of many famous philosophical and spiritual books, including the most popular illustrative book on Hatha Yoga. He is widely known in India particularly Southern India as the spiritual guru of the popular Indian cinema star Rajinikanth.

  • One of the most treasured performances of all the music I've ever heard. This song & album (& Ptah the El Daoud) turned me on to jazz, the Coltranes, & Pharoah, who's music, & very presence when playing, is transportive, primordial, & transcendental....

    In fact, I still call music as this "Transcendental Jazz"...

  • This recording has been in my life since 1971, 33", cassette, cd, etc. No 'attitude', no 'got a good beat', no'funky lyrics', no 'well, I'll show YOU'. Just a river flowing before, during, and after mankind's presence.

  • Saccidānanda, Satchidananda, or Sat-cit-ānanda (Sanskrit: सच्चिदानन्द) is a compound of three Sanskrit words, Sat (सत्), Cit (चित्), and Ānanda (आनन्द) (the ā is of longer vocal length), meaning Existence (Truth, the Eternal), Consciousness, and Bliss respectively.
