sleeve : VG+(SRW, wear on edge and corner.)

A masterpiece of the highest order, this 1974 release brings together harpist Alice Coltrane and guitarist Carlos Santana in a truly extraordinary collaboration. Featuring Tom Coster on piano, Jules Broussard on soprano saxophone and flute, Dave Holland on bass, Jack DeJohnette on drums, Armando Peraza on percussion, Phil Ford on tabla, Prabuddha Phil Browne on tambura, along with a full string orchestra, the album effortlessly transcends the boundaries between jazz and rock, unfolding a richly narrative, spiritually charged utopian world from start to finish. The string orchestra is especially effective, adding even greater depth and color to the album’s dramatic development. B1 is a stunning piece in which free jazz and Santana’s blazing guitar solo merge as one, evoking the image of a solar angel. Highly recommended.
A2: Angel of Aair / Aangel of Water
A3: Bliss: The Eternal Now
