Thanks so much Turangalila and jaxon. It sounds great so far.

― Sundar (sundar), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 03:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Is the sound supposed to be slightly distorted?

― Sundar (sundar), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 03:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, seems like the masters for both Lord of Lords and HAM sound awkwardly distorted.

― Turangalila (Salvador), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 03:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks Turangalila!

― js (honestengine), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 06:45 (eighteen years ago) link

js, you guys have Huntington at the station ...

Thanks for the Alice recommendations; I'd been avoiding her for some reason. She's critically underrated.

― Brakhage (brakhage), Wednesday, 8 February 2006 16:27 (eighteen years ago) link

js just told me about the Huntington Ashram rip--and the dl limit has already been reached. Damn! Could some fine person repost through ysi? Pretty please? I loves me some Alice Coltrane, especially some I haven't heard in years. I've got the rest--other than the brand new one--on vinyl and/or cd. The HAM is the missing link for me. Pretty pretty please?

Brakhage! How you doin'? How's the West Coast? Have you thrown your lot in with Death Row yet, or are you still reppin' Bad Boy?

you're a good man, charlie brown

― team jaxon (jaxon), Friday, 10 February 2006 23:57 (eighteen years ago) link

thank you thank you thank you. rapidshare seems to be working (yo).

― J Arthur Rank (Quin Tillian), Saturday, 11 February 2006 16:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks for the YSI.

― Harpal (harpal), Saturday, 11 February 2006 16:45 (eighteen years ago) link

I just wanted to add my thanks for sharing that album. Very generous.

― Sparkle Motion's Rising Force, Wednesday, 22 February 2006 19:32 (eighteen years ago) link

I'll add my thanks, too. I just finally listened to HAM this morning. Four times. It's amazing. The rhythm section really just kills. I need to get Monastic Trio.

― mcd (mcd), Wednesday, 22 February 2006 20:13 (eighteen years ago) link

ten months pass...

There's a rumor (AAJ) that Alice Coltrane has passed away.

― R_S (RSLaRue), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:25 (seventeen years ago) link

What the FUCK?!?!?!?!

― Turangalila (Salvador), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Please someone clarify this now.

― Turangalila (Salvador), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Nooooooooo. I really really really don't want this to be true.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:33 (seventeen years ago) link

wiki page has been updated.

:(((((

― zappi (joni), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:33 (seventeen years ago) link

It's true. And, no, my source isn't the page but I trust it.

Oh, man. This is so sad.

― Turangalila (Salvador), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:43 (seventeen years ago) link

yes, it's true, Lois Gilbert from Jazz Corner and Chris Albertson (jazz historian) are confirming it. no public confirmation yet, but it does sadly seem to be true.

― Jonathan Abbey (erstwhile), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Fuck. I knew I should have gone to see her play last year.

― pdf (Phil Freeman), Sunday, 14 January 2007 03:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh God, no.

― Sundar (sundar), Sunday, 14 January 2007 04:56 (seventeen years ago) link

RIP

― 808 the Bassking (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 14 January 2007 05:44 (seventeen years ago) link

SUCK

my first thought is just like with Octavia Butler - at least we have one last work to explore that she left with us before she died.

I am going to put on "Journey In Satchidananda" now and maybe even cry a bit.

what a fucking shame

― max (maxreax), Sunday, 14 January 2007 05:52 (seventeen years ago) link

RIP

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Sunday, 14 January 2007 06:04 (seventeen years ago) link

she played two months ago in san francisco... and I missed it. by all reports, it was good with a few completely transcendent peaks.

this one really comes as a surprise.

― milton parker (Jon L), Sunday, 14 January 2007 06:14 (seventeen years ago) link

She was about 70, wasn't she? Pretty young, anyway. Listening to "Eternity" now. Love this rec.

Yes, I heard this yesterday, but didin't want to post before there was official confirmation. Very sad. RIP.

― toby (tsg20), Sunday, 14 January 2007 09:01 (seventeen years ago) link

This is nuts. I had no idea. RIP, you beautiful lady.

I had been listening to Lord Of Lords this morning (for the first time) and wasn't feeling her string arrangements. I mentioned how "corny and Cecil B. DeMille" they were to a friend later tonight and that was that. I feel terrible because I love Alice Coltrane's music and this was unexpected.

― Jay Vee's Return (Manon_69), Sunday, 14 January 2007 09:31 (seventeen years ago) link

so sad. i'm going to put universal consciousness on right now. rip.

Ah, fucking hell.

RIP. Will listen to Alice today!

― mcd (mcd), Sunday, 14 January 2007 15:09 (seventeen years ago) link

RIP

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Sunday, 14 January 2007 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

someone more familiar with her stuff than i am should start a proper RIP thread, maybe. RIP Alice.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 14 January 2007 19:13 (seventeen years ago) link

oh man, w/ this and michael brecker's passing it's been a supersad week for jazzheads

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Sunday, 14 January 2007 19:28 (seventeen years ago) link

man, i just saw her in SF 2 months ago and she seemed happy and healthy.

― jaxon (jaxon), Sunday, 14 January 2007 20:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I've been listening to her heavily the past few months, more than ever.

She lived a beautiful, full life.

― Zachary Scott (Zach S), Sunday, 14 January 2007 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

RIP

― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 14 January 2007 23:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Fucking hell, I was listening to her 70s stuff on Warners just a few days ago (Transfiguration is simply *awesome*). AND I was talking about how the Penguin Guide To Jazz are still a bit snotty about her. AND she was booked to play the Barbican in London on April 1 2007. AND Universal were putting together a big compilation to coincide with that. AND she's still being bigged up by the likes of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Keiran Hebden, Adem, Bobby Gillespie... A great shock and a much missed talent. RIP

― john lewis (johnnylewis), Sunday, 14 January 2007 23:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Very sad, have been listening to her music all day, much of yesterday as well.

― ubbu (Tate), Monday, 15 January 2007 06:17 (seventeen years ago) link

i don't think i've ever mourned the passing of an artist. i've been emotional since i found out.

― jaime (jaime), Monday, 15 January 2007 08:28 (seventeen years ago) link

AND she's still being bigged up by the likes of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Keiran Hebden, Adem, Bobby Gillespie

the punchline writes itself i think...

alice c and michael b in the space of one weekend...not my idea of an impulse clearout... :-(

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 15 January 2007 11:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I spent a few hours at work on Friday, sat at my desk, listening to to the albums I have on my mp3 player. I rarely listen to music in the office, but it made a slow task on a drab day into something so peaceful; I emerged from my headphones feeling surprisingly well rested.

Back at work today, seeing this thread re-emerge - and being in that 'Universal Consciousness mode' which her music always seems to inspire in me - I was quite expectant to see somebody writing about a near identical experience. Quite a jolt to read such sad news in its place.
