A landmark album that revealed just how far the pianist and widow of John Coltrane had come in the three years after his death. The compositions are wildly open and droning figures built on whole tones and minor modes. Sanders plays soprano exclusively and the interplay between it and Coltrane's piano and harp is mesmerizing. Necessary and remarkably accessible record for anyone interested in the development of modal and experimental jazz.
