Transcendence finds Alice Coltrane exploring a vibrant fusion of jazz with spiritual and world music influences, marking a significant turn in her artistic journey. Recorded at iconic studios in Los Angeles and Burbank, this 1977 album stands as an intensely focused spiritual statement and a captivating chapter in Coltrane’s boundary-pushing body of work.
Side one showcases Alice’s ethereal harp playing in moving instrumental pieces, while side two introduces her early interpretations of Hindu devotional hymns with passionate group vocals and hand percussion.
