Alice Coltrane: Translinear Light
by Chris May
To say that we've been waiting 26 years, since her last commercial release, Transfiguration, for Alice Coltrane to return to the serene “Eastern" astral jazz which she and Pharoah Sanders developed in the late '60s, is not entirely accurate. That would imply the expectation that such a return would, one day, be made--and since Coltrane withdrew ...
Alice Coltrane: Translinear Light
by John Kelman
At its best, music is a reflection of who we are, where we've been and where we're going. It transcends classification and, instead, becomes something personal, a powerful force that paints a clear and honest picture of the spirit of the performer. While some artists are concerned with the mechanics of music, the logic of how ...
John Coltrane: The Olatunji Concert: The Last Live Recording
by Colin Fleming
Composed almost entirely of violently shifting textures and a commitment to dissonance that all but blasphemes melody and musical forms, this document of John Coltrane's last recorded concert from April '67 is decidedly horrific, threatening, and appropriately staggering. Having forsaken his famous “sheets of sound" for a new, overly propulsive medium in the mid-sixties, Coltrane's last ...
Yusef Lateef: The Golden Flute
by David Rickert
It’s a shame that Yusef Lateef is relegated to the second tier of jazz musicians, left as an artist who is known more for his work as a sideman. His abilities as a multi-instrumentalist place him a category with Roland Kirk, yet with none of the acclaim. It’s true that on his Atlantic releases Lateef was ...
Tony Scott: Tony Scott
by David Rickert
Up until now the only Tony Scott currently available was two albums intended as background music for meditation, neither pointing to the jazz leanings of a artist who cut his teeth with Dizzy Gillespie and Benny Carter, to name just two. This reissue of a 1967 Verve album amply documents Scott’s interest in Middle Eastern music, ...
Archie Shepp: The Cry of My People
by David Rickert
Archie Shepp is an artist whose work, while not always successful, nevertheless remains compelling and worth a listen. The Cry of My People is not his best effort, but one can respect his maverick approach to jazz scholarship that resists classification and challenges the notion of what can be defined as jazz. This album comes from ...
