Alice Coltrane ft. Pharoah Sanders – Journey In Satchidananda
One of the all-time jazz classics and an essential listen, Journey In Satchidananda continues Alice Coltrane’s spiritual connection with Pharoah Sanders. From Alice herself in the liner notes: “Anyone listening to this selection should try to envision himself floating on an ocean of Satchinandaji’s love, which is literally carrying countless devotees across the vicissitudes and stormy blasts of life to the other shore. Satchidananda means knowledge, existence, bliss.” You’ve probably heard this album before, but if you haven’t played it in full, eyes closed, in your favorite chair or on the ground for a deep listen, then we highly recommend you do so now. Also, check out this great NPR article on the healing power of Journey In Satchidananda.
