Alice Coltrane- A Monastic Trio (Verve By Request Series)

Label: Impulse!

Reissued 6/7/2024, Originally released 1968

Recorded in 1968 and intended as a tribute to her late husband, Alice Coltrane is supported in her first solo outing by Pharoah Sanders, Jimmy Garrison and Rashied Ali - all members of John Coltrane's last quintet. While initial reviews to the album were lukewarm upon release, looking at it in the context of her larger body of work, A Monastic Trio serves as a delightful foreshadowing of what was to come. The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
