Alice Coltrane : A Monastic Trio (Verve By Request) (180g Vinyl)

Recorded in 1968 and intended as a tribute to her late husband, Alice Coltrane is supported in her first solo outing by Pharoah Sanders, Jimmy Garrison and Rashied Ali – all members of John Coltrane’s last quintet. While initial reviews to the album were lukewarm upon release, looking at it in the context of her larger body of work, ‘A Monastic Trio’ serves as a delightful foreshadowing of what was to come. This Verve By Request title is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Third Man in Detroit.
