About
'Kirtan: Turiya Sings' features Alice Coltrane at peak spirituality and is presented in this arrangement for the first time in any format. 'Turyia Sings' was originally released in 1982 on cassette as a collection of devotional songs including vocals, organ, strings, and synthesizers available only at Alice's Sai Anantam Ashram. 'Kirtan: Turiya Sings' features a sparser arrangement of organ and chanting, produced by Ravi Coltrane. This is intentional, devotional music created with the purpose of connecting to a higher power. The pared back arrangements on this release are enchantingly haunting and encourage the listener to reach a meditative headspace so as to channel connectiveness to a greater spirit. The perfect introduction to Alice Coltrane for listeners interested in music for mediation and personal wellness.

In the past few years, the full extent of Alice Coltrane’s talents has been coming into sharper focus, and this set of super-rare (previously available only as a series of cassettes distributed by Alice herself) music makes the picture crystal clear. She was a unique individual and a distinctive artist. Her journey from jazz pianist with a strong grounding in gospel to disciple of spiritual leader Swami Satchidananda and exponent of Hindu devotional song led her to create music of breathtaking beauty, shaped as she was by this life journey that is anything but conventional.
