█ For those about to get terribly excited at the █
█ prospect of a new Alice Coltrane album, don't; this █
█ is a compilation from her years on Impulse! solo and █
█ with her late husband. But, given the radical █
█ juxtaposition of some of these works, this seems like █
█ a new Alice disc just the same. Assembled by the █
█ crack team of Patrick Forge and Kersten Mackness, █
█ this set is gorgeously sequenced and, while debatable █
█ among people who have nothing better to do, is the █
█ only way this track selection could go. Quibbling █
█ over the actual tunes is ridiculous: "Lovely Sky █
█ Boat," "I Want to See You," "Galaxy in Turyia," "Blue █
█ Nile," "Universal Consciousness," "Battle at █
█ Armageddon," "A Love Supreme" (the version from World █
█ Galaxy with Frank Lowe on saxophone, Ben Riley on █
█ drums, and Reggie Workman on bass with Alice playing █
█ piano, organ, and harp, as well as a string section), █
█ "Journey in Satchidananda," "Galaxy Around Oldumare," █
█ and the tracks "Peace on Earth," from John Coltrane's █
█ Infinity album, and "The Sun," from the controversial █
█ Cosmic Music album. They are impeccable choices that █
█ represent the full range of Alice Coltrane's █
█ shamefully undernoticed contribution to jazz. Here, █
█ with a host of musicians that includes not only those █
█ previously mentioned, but also Pharoah Sanders, Jack █
█ DeJohnette, Jimmy Garrison, Rashied Ali, Joe █
█ Henderson, Leroy Jenkins, Elvin Jones, Ron Carter, █
█ and many others, the depth and dimension of Alice █
█ Coltrane's musical vision can be articulated within █
█ the context of (mostly) her own work. Again, the way █
█ that Mackness and Forge have culled and sequenced the █
█ track selection is seamless, offering the development █
█ of Coltrane's creative voice as a pianist, harpist, █
█ organist, composer, and improviser ù not to mention █
█ arranger ù as a process, a constant evolution from █
█ high to even higher. The music is revelatory in how █
█ it uses color and tension to articulate tonal speech, █
█ and how it uses improvisation within the context of █
█ particular timbres. For those who have the catalog, █
█ this may come as a welcome refresher course; for █
█ those encountering Alice Coltrane's work for the █
█ first time, there simply is no other choice. █
