Such beautiful master peace by Alice Coltrane, i grow up listening to John Coltrane in the sixties in high school everyone else was listening to Beatles.

So important to see this composition live , to see the process of that Harp, the fingering , the communications with others

When you "think" that you've heard IT, then THIS comes along to let you know that IT wasn't over...

[@victormorgado5318]

I feel like Charleton Heston cruising down Los Angeles' streets in a Ford Mustang open-topped convertible looking for Mathias and the rest of his luddite, photo-sensative cult dressed in their Halloween costumes.
