This shimmering dedication to Pharoah Sanders and John Coltrane got me feeling incredible Spirited feelings. A pure and joyous celebration of the astral bliss that is possible when Freedom, Excellence, and Prayer make music together.
An absolute gem of a Bandcamp find, on the level of the wonderful Don Cherry's Om Shanti Om.
Favorite track: All in, together, now . . ..

This night started as a Creative Music Concert
in Loving Tribute to John Coltrane, on his
Earth Arrival Day / Solar Return Anniversary.
We weren't going to interpret any of John Coltrane's Music.
We were going to create in the moment with intention,
and focus on the inspiration that we feel from John Coltrane.
Around 8:00pm that night Maia received a message
that Pharoah Sanders had made his transition . . .
We called Azar Lawrence and Dwight Trible to sea
if we could confirm this. When Dwight arrived,
just as we were about to play at 8:35pm, he let us
know that Pharoah had indeed left his body,
Spiritually ascending into higher frequencies . . .
We tuned in and created together, shared, emoted,
deeply connecting, and expressing . . .
We are offering to You, here and now, for free,
as an extension of this super charged gathering.
Thank You for listening.
Lots of LOVE!!!
