40-minute video of a performance from 1993 (solo harp, then synth/violin duos, then solo synth with vocals):

Truly. That was thoroughly enjoyable.
When she's playing harp at the beginning I kept expecting a bright blue glow to start appearing around her.

yeah placed an order for this last week after off-loading my (pretty good sounding, TBF) bootleg vinyl copy on the ebay.

makes sense, Turiya & Ramakrishna is kind of a system glitch hit on Spotify, on all sorts of really lame playlists
but what a jam

Doja Cat fans and AC fans are probably like who dat?
― Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Thursday, 21 September 2023 23:17 (seven months ago) link
From the ages of about 8 to 12, Doja lived on a Californian ashram headed by Alice Coltrane, the wife of jazz musician John Coltrane, after Doja’s artist mother moved there from her grandmother’s house in Rye, N.Y. (Her father, who has not been a big part of her life, is South African actor and dancer Dumisani Dlamini.) While there, she learned her first dance moves from the Bharatanatyam tradition. While she doesn’t dance that way anymore, “I think that helped shape how I emote on stage because it’s a very emotional form of dance,” she says.

Wow. Definitely gonna dive into both of those this weekend, though the live recording is the bigger draw for me.
My first guess at a drummer for the live stuff would be Ben Riley, who was on Lord of Lords and Eternity, which were released before and after that concert, respectively.

Holy shit — her 1971 Carnegie Hall concert (with Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Jimmy Garrison, Cecil McBee, Ed Blackwell, Clifford Jarvis, Kumar Kramer, and Tulsi Reynolds) is being released by Impulse! in March. There's a pre-order link for vinyl, but not for a CD version yet that I can find...
― Tahuti Watches L&O:SVU Reruns Without His Ape (unperson), Wednesday, 7 February 2024 18:24 (two months ago) link
!!
I hope there is a CD version coming, would absolutely grab that in a heartbeat. Be a nice upgrade from the Hi Hat release with just "Africa".
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 7 February 2024 18:29 (two months ago) link
i can't figure out how to link directly to the preview track/video, but there's a very excellent 15 minute version of shiva-loka here halfway down the page here:

pretty cool — always wondered if there was more of that show. I guess so!
Impulse usually does CDs, would be surprised if they didn't for this one, too.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 7 February 2024 18:34 (two months ago) link
Yeah, I'm sure they will, it just hasn't popped up on their webstore yet for some reason.

berkEley
the way things have been going, i wouldn't be surprised if they were like, "We've finally restored this concert to its original version, where a technical error muted Pharoah Sanders's microphone, rendering him inaudible for the entire concert!"
― budo jeru, Wednesday, 7 February 2024 18:58 (two months ago) link
I just got the press release from the label, and the two long essays that are gonna be included in the package. Here are the track running times:
Alice ColtraneThe Carnegie Hall ConcertJourney In Satchidananda 15:02Shiva-Loka 14:40Africa 28:09Leo 21:34
Total running time 79:25

aw yeah ... that's a pretty major addition to the live AC oeuvre

Excitement!

kind of wild that this was a triple bill with Laura Nyro and The Rascals (though Alice did guest on a Rascals record right around this time!)
― tylerw, Wednesday, 7 February 2024 21:09 (two months ago) link
According to the liner notes it's because the concert was a benefit for the Swami, and Alice, Laura Nyro, and Felix Cavalieri were all devotees.

I think he's referring to the altered release of Turiya Sings?

Pre-orders are up; black vinyl, orange vinyl and a 2CD set. I got the press download last night; it sounds amazing so far. Bought the 2CD set.

Very excited to get my copy, glad to upgrade that grey market bootleg with only a part of the set. So the Aquarium Drunkard review isn't just hyperbole?
Had The Carnegie Hall Concert been released in 1971 when it was originally commissioned and recorded by Impulse as a double live LP, it would undoubtedly rank among the all-time holy grails of live jazz, no, live music, period.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 22 March 2024 14:50 (one month ago) link
I mean this all-time holy grails of live jazz, no, live music, period is a bit of a high bar but a few moments on here on genuinely stunning

Haha, I figured that might be a stretch, but I am just thrilled this exists now.
