Negative Positive
Title: Excellent and a half
Review: This is not the etherial free jazz Alice Coltrane devled into on albums likeUniversal Consciousness, after making this album in 1970. Ptah the El Daoud is praise to God. This is blues as reverence.The music is reletively straight-forward, but this does not take from its sheer power. These are sharp, lean, minor blues variations, where Coltrane inserts her harp, flutes, and instruments like bells, which free jazz brought into the genre.This is gripping work, potent in its leaness and blues power. Simply amazing materal.
