Alice Coltrane – A Monastic Trio (Verve By Request)

180-gram vinyl
Verve By Request Series — Monthly releases from Verve Label Group’s jazz catalog!

Handpicked rarities and fan favourites include out-of-print titles and first-ever vinyl pressings.

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.

The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
