This album features Alice Coltrane’s first Carnegie Hall performance as a leader, joined by an all-star band including fellow members of her late-husband John Coltrane's group - Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp, Jimmy Garrison, Cecil McBee, Ed Blackwell and others.
This is a never before released, killer live recording from 1971.
Recorded live, by Impulse! at a charity gala given at Carnegie Hall for the benefit of the Integral Yoga Institute , this incredible set never saw commercial release until now.
The gala concert was one of two halves with the first two transcendental tunes by Alice taken from the album she had just released on Impulse! and then two explosive tunes by her late husband John Coltrane.
