5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to find but utterly wonderful sampling of of free jazz., May 1, 2000

This review is from: Red Hot on Impulse (Audio CD)

The red hot organization has put out a number of these compilation albums from virtually every music group. This album is a sampling of CLASSIC free jazz from such jazz greats as Pharoah Sanders, Charles Mingus, Oliver Nelson... and oh yes, that Coltrane guy. This is an excellent album for relaxation and meditation. It starts out with the hypnotic Journey into Satchidananda by Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders, here the both of them make absolutely wondefully beautiful music together. Pharoah Sanders appears on no less than 4 of the 11 cuts on the album all of them classic. From opening tune to the, melodic the creator has a master plan ,to the subline Astral Traveling, to the rhythmic upper egypt and lower egypt. Also on their album are wonderful jazz classics like Oliver Nelsons Stolen Moments and Max Roach' Garvey's Ghost. There's even two versions of a ove supreme one by Alice Coletrane another by the great John Coltrane. But Alas at this juncture this album is out of print. A shame because it has some extremely hard to find music, making this a definite must for any fan of jazz. But if you can find this anywhere please pick it up. It's well worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best and Most Listened to Albums in My Collection., January 8, 2006

If you are looking for a various artist album to complete your jazz collection, look no further. This is one of the best ones, in my opinion. With some of the best tunes by the likes of John and Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp and Max Roach, you will listen to it over and over again.
