As a fan of Alice Coltrane, it's kind of frustrating that NYT would bother to put this together and interview all these people and then put these tiny 30 second

  There is a Spotify playlist at the end but I don't care for Spotify. These are amazing and I think I am falling in love with Alice Coltrane. Not to compare them, but I'd also recommend Anoushka Shankar for spiritually inspired music.

    Re: spiritually-inspired music, see also Pharoah Sanders and Leon Thomas. A few of my favorites: Leon Thomas's "The Creator Has a Master Plan": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoYnvw-97II https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoYnvw-97II Pharoah Sanders and Leon Thomas's "Sun Song": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ07KWhbIj8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ07KWhbIj8 On the topic, not really in the same lineage as the above, but you might like a favorite album of mine, Good God! Apocryphal Hymns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSRcvn7l0KI&list=OLAK5uy_ldIgACpadSgrOlvRt2VYub9dIF8hhrmOE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSRcvn7l0KI&list=OLAK5uy_ldI...

  I agree, it might even be off-putting for some listeners to hear a random bit of her music out of context from the rest of the track (or even album). "Journey in Satchidananda" I'm pretty sure is my favorite album of all time. I first heard it when I was maybe 16, and 20+ years later I still listen to it at least a few times per month. I'd suggest anyone that wants to listen to her music to put that one on and listen to it the whole way through. The album is both approachable and gorgeous.

    The actual song Journey in Satchidananda is one of my favorite pieces of music. I went down a rabbit hole one afternoon finding various live performances of it, since it seemed so well-suited for extended jazz renditions. Here’s my favorite of the bunch: https://youtu.be/w2bGe8kBPS4 https://youtu.be/w2bGe8kBPS4

      For the gentle people out there wondering what is Satchidananda: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satcitananda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satcitananda

        It seems also be a reference to the self-named Swami Satchidananda who provided Alice Coltrane with some guidance and help after the death of her husband.
        • belfalas 4y ago
          The title is a play on words referencing the name of the Swami. Alice 'took a journey' in Satchitananda (guided by the Swami) which helped her through the mourning process.

  I'm assuming it's a licensing issue. More than snippets isn't "fair use"
