One of my favorite releases on the Impulse! label and it was done by the woman with fire, Alice Coltrane. This release wasn't your typical jazz album at the time and I think it does relfect what was going on at the time during the 60's and 70's in America. People were starting to get into Free Jazz and Space Jazz at the time and this release was just an added punch in that craze. Alice plays the harp perfectly on this and what's interesting to note is that she produced this album as well. It was more than likely recorded in her basement that her late husband, John Coltrane, had created just before he died. I think that alone ads even a more spiritual touch to this album as well because of that. My favorite track on here is the last one, Isis and Osiris. Charlie Haden appears on it but aside from that it's simply a marvious tune and carries the album to a wonderful close.
