No wonder. It is a great music! I vote Journey to Sat-cit-ananda and Hare Krishna

Another amazing piece by Alice. Sri Ram OhnedaruthOhnedaruth was, according to Alice, a Sanskrit name given to John Coltrane in a vision he had. It means "compassion." I am unable to discover any actual Sanskrit word like it that means that. It is hard to determine how it was pronounced by John and Alice. Any ideas? I find it fascinating, though, that one of the greatest musicians of the last century believed he was given a Sanskrit name in a vision. Alice says about this song that it celebrates his initiation as Sri Ram Ohnedaruth on the spiritual plane where he lived after his death.

John was a very interesting fellow. He built up such a legacy of transcendent recordings early on, like Blue Train, Giant Steps, My Favorite Things and Africa/Brass. On A Love Supreme, he hit a whole new realm of expressiveness. But then something happened...
Coltrane's vision of spirituality was violent, turbulent, pained. His last string of albums sound like nothing more than pure noise to many. But for him they were heartfelt offerings to his Lord; they were direct outpourings of his soul. This says something really interesting about him; indeed, although I'm pretty sure he studied advaitavada, I'm sure he would have found kinship with the ecstatic Bengali saints.
His protegee, Pharoah Sanders, also made some really other-worldly music, mostly on Karma, Tauhid and Izipho Zam.
