This episode explores the theme of rediscovery: a 1970 Japanese shakuhachi record just reissued, and a Swedish duo closing things out on a stripped-down reading of an old socialist hymn. In between we present a run built entirely around one photography book, unpublished 1970s portraits by the late Warner Bros. photographer Ginny Winn. The Residents are out on tour presenting 1979's Eskimo in full and some of that's here, too. There's more, but you'll have to listen to find out...

Alice Coltrane: The Carnegie Hall Concert

by Mike Jurkovic
April 18, 2024

The most perfect of time machines, with no errant destinations and no abrupt landings, The Carnegie Hall Concert transports one to a time when artists took their art seriously, when it was sacrosanct. Alice Coltrane's harp comes on like the siren lure of angels, like a missionary, calling all to stop their labor. It seems to say, “Come to listen, come to wonder, come to rest, don't be afraid." And Coltrane wasn't, not ever. Here she was with ...

Alice Coltrane: In the Spirit

by Kurt Gottschalk
May 24, 2020

From the 1995-2003 archive: This article first appeared at All About Jazz in December 2002.

The bassist Darryl Hall played an immediately recognizable four-note line and the group (also featuring drummer E.J. Strickland) launched into the only reasonable song they could have chosen for the evening, if one that many in the packed room might well ...
