ALICE COLTRANE
A Monastic Trio (Verve by Request) (2024 Reissue)
DECCA(UMO)
Recorded in 1968 and intended as a tribute to her late husband, Alice Coltrane is supported in her first solo outing by Pharoah Sanders, Jimmy Garrison and Rashied Ali — all members of John Coltrane’s last quintet.
While initial reviews to the album were lukewarm upon release, looking at it in the context of her larger body of work, A Monastic Trio serves as a delightful foreshadowing of what was to come. This Verve By Request title is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Third Man in Detroit.
