I started digging into Alice Coltrane’s catalogue after coming across Lakecia Benjamin’s Coltrane tribute from a few years ago (itself a revelation). It almost feels embarrassing that it took me this long. What a force. A few days ago I was streaming Ptah the El Daoud and Turiya and Ramakrishna brought tears to my eyes. This was a lovely homage—yet another. Thanks, Robert.
Great stuff as always, Robert. Just a minor point: I disagree that Kind of Blue is the best introduction to jazz. For that, I'd pick one of the Prestige Quintet records, probably Relaxin'.
