It suffers from the rounded edges of contemporary mainstream jazz production, but yes, it's still a good album.

Came across this 2009 interview - from Essence magazine! - this morning. Long and worth a read.
― grawlix (unperson), Wednesday, 2 January 2019 16:48 (five years ago) link
I'm assuming they did the interview shortly after TL was released.

Based on the John-Coltrane's-80th hook, 2006.

Hoping there will be digital at some point of this here 'Previously unreleased and not known to exist soundboard recording' from '72
― Brakhage, Tuesday, 28 May 2019 22:28 (four years ago) link
discussed a bit upthread by tylerw, Stevolende, and others, you gotta show all answers to see it though
― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Tuesday, 28 May 2019 22:32 (four years ago) link
so infuriating to see DIME uploads become vinyl bootlegs after a few years
― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Tuesday, 28 May 2019 22:33 (four years ago) link
the show discussed upthread is an audience tape with different personnel, from '71 rather than '72?
― by the light of the burning Citroën, Tuesday, 28 May 2019 23:25 (four years ago) link
oh cool I think you're right? I was totally confused by the time we finished discussing those dates, but yeah the tracklist looks different on closer examination
― Emperor Tonetta Ketchup (sleeve), Tuesday, 28 May 2019 23:55 (four years ago) link
Yeah seems to be a different (new to me) recording than the other Berkeley AC recording. Samples sound great.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 29 May 2019 00:05 (four years ago) link
Gonna definitely keep an eye out for that to show up on a blog (no turntable).

the 2LP 1973 boot is mind-boggling, like absolutely essential. search by any means necessary, PM me if you want FLAC files.
and WTF this other one just showed up?
https://forcedexposure.com/Catalog/coltrane-alice-carnegie-hall-71-cd/HH.3093CD.html
Alice Coltrane, live at Carnegie Hall, New York on February 21st, 1971. On Sunday, February 21st, 1971, a benefit was held in New York's Carnegie Hall for Swami Satchidanda's Integral Yoga Institute, featuring Laura Nyro, the New Rascals, and Alice Coltrane's All-Stars. The latter band was a remarkable coming-together of talent, with Lady Trane joined by legends such as Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, and Jimmy Garrison on stupendous form (with a little assistance from members of the Yoga Institute). The astounding performance of John Coltrane's "Africa" on this set, finds them improvising thrillingly. Includes the entire WQXR-FM broadcast, digitally remastered and accompanied by background notes and images. Also features: Kumar Kramer (harmonium), Jimmy Garrison (bass), Cecil McBee (bass), Clifford Jarvis (drums), and Ed Blackwell (drums).

apparently the 1971 CD I pasted the details of above was released a year ago, I just learned about it today when I was searching for more details on the new 2LP BCT release, I'm on side 4 of the new one now and her keyboard playing is just ferocious
― Ambient Police (sleeve), Thursday, 13 June 2019 01:04 (four years ago) link
Sent you a message about the new one. The 1971 recordings have circulated forever - I have a really shitty sounding version that was uploaded in like 2010.
― shared unit of analysis (unperson), Thursday, 13 June 2019 01:11 (four years ago) link
I appreciate the heads up! Small combo + Indian instruments is my favorite version of Alice
― Οὖτις, Thursday, 13 June 2019 01:11 (four years ago) link
Awaiting delivery of the 1972 boot and v v v excited

What organ is she playing on this? Sounds something like a farfisa but with a tone wheel, cuz she definitely bends notes
― Οὖτις, Friday, 14 June 2019 22:34 (four years ago) link
yeah the wild bending is very distinctive, I noticed that as well
― Ambient Police (sleeve), Friday, 14 June 2019 23:04 (four years ago) link
she played a Wurlitzer a lot in the 70s, but used to get pitch bends on her Hammond by quickly switching the electricity off and on(!)
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 14 June 2019 23:10 (four years ago) link
a "1971 Wurlitzer 805 Centura that included, above its two full-size keyboards, an Orbit III analogue synth" according to a Quietus article
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Friday, 14 June 2019 23:15 (four years ago) link
Wow what a beast. Synth looks like it has some portamento/pitch bend
― Οὖτις, Friday, 14 June 2019 23:32 (four years ago) link
wild, thanks for the info y'all
