Coltrane cries in the agony of existential pain and beseeches us to find the love to light the way. This is simultaneously the sound of acknowledging the place of a single human being seen as a creature of the universe facing death and his creator while bestowing truth flawless by design by avoiding language. And no man on earth could have improved on Ali’s accompaniment. The percussion is in every way perfect. It’s very hard and certainly beyond my writing abilities to express how great this music is.

Opening up Saint Coltrane’s birthday with this one.

Hit this up second

This was one of the first Coltrane records I ever owned. In the first five I’m pretty positive.
