Alice Coltrane - Radha Krsna Nama Sankirtana
Review by Mohammad Mahmoud
Radha Krsna Nama Sankirtana, the album by Alice Coltrane, is a mesmerizing collection of devotional songs that showcase her deep-rooted spiritual beliefs. The album features traditional Indian chants and hymns, which are accompanied by Coltrane’s signature jazz-infused sound.
The album opens with the title track, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song begins with a soft melody that gradually builds up, creating a sense of anticipation. As the song progresses, Coltrane’s piano takes center stage, and the listener is transported into a world of spiritual bliss.
One of the highlights of the album is “Govinda Hari,” a beautiful rendition of a traditional Indian hymn. Coltrane’s piano playing is exquisite, and the song is enhanced by the addition of the tambura and tabla, which create a hypnotic rhythm.
Another standout track is “Hare Krishna,” a lively song that is sure to get the listener moving. The call-and-response vocals, along with the upbeat tempo, make this song a joy to listen to.

About Alice Coltrane
Born: 27th August 1937 Detroit, Michigan, USA
Died: 12th January 2007 in Los Angeles, California, USA
Alice Coltrane (née McLeod; August 27, 1937 January 12, 2007), also known by her adopted Sanskrit name Turiyasangitananda, was an American jazz musician and composer, and in her later years a swamini. An accomplished pianist and one of the few harpists in the history of jazz, she recorded many albums as a bandleader, beginning in the late 1960s and early 1970s for Impulse! and other record labels. She was married to jazz saxophonist and composer John Coltrane, with whom she performed in 19661967. One of the foremost proponents of spiritual jazz, her eclectic music proved widely influential both within and outside the world of jazz.
Coltrane's professional music career slowed from the mid 1970s as she became more dedicated to her religious education. She founded the Vedantic Center in 1975 and the Shanti Anantam Ashram in California in 1983, where she served as spiritual director. On July 3, 1994, Swamini rededicated and inaugurated the land as Sai Anantam Ashram. During the 1980s and 1990s, she recorded several albums of Hindu devotional songs before returning to jazz in the 2000s.
