ALICE COLTRANE – Eternity (VMP Reissue) – LP – 180g Orange-in-Pink Vinyl

LP – Limited Edition 180g Orange-in-Pink Vinyl housed in a tip-on sleeve. (AAA) Lacquers Cut From the Master Tapes by Ryan Smith, Sterling Sound.

Eternity arrived at a transitional point in Coltranes artistic and spiritual journey after she had founded her Vedantic Center in 1975, but before she abandoned secular performance for a quarter-century; after she had somewhat shaken the relentless comparisons to her husbands work (and those who would use John Coltranes widow in lieu of her name), but still long before she was universally recognized as a musical luminary. Also importantly, after she released a slew of unexpected pop collaborations and as she signed to a major label pouring money into building a new jazz catalog. Secular, agnostically spiritual, and Vedic songs mingle together, as do a range of different musical textures. In this kind of middle place, Eternity showcases Coltranes ambition and range, offering a glimpse at sounds and styles she would rarely revisit.
