Alice Coltrane : Transcendence

Transcendence, released in 1977, was going to be Alice Coltrane’s last studio work for nearly three decades.

It synthesizes the best elements of Coltrane’s previous works into a monumental whole.

What runs through the album's two musical halves is a powerful sense of devotion and discovery. At this point in her life, Coltrane was on a journey toward truth through sound, and Transcendence gives the listener a front row seat to her spiritual quest.
