The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Sav - I have nothing against Alice in principle or as a musician but for me Coltrane with Tyner is Thanksgiving without turkey.

Anyways, if you dig Alice Coltrane and late period JC, Jamie Saft is a self-described Alice disciple - Ticonderoga (2015) was a kind of tribute album to the Second VV Coltrane session, and Hidden Corners (2019) also evokes the Alice sound.  Hidden Corners has become one of my recent favorites and it's not as "difficult" as Ticonderoga although if you've listened to Brotzmann you can handle both.

Saft also had a release where Iggy Pop did some guest vocals - Loneliness Road (2017) - I'd recommend that one to everyone.

You sure he doesn't mean he's a disciple of her spiritual teachings?  :unsure:

;)

I did listen to Ticonderoga; I enjoyed it, but I didn't think his piano sounded very much like Alice's (at least not what was on "Monastic Trio.")
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Roland Kirk - The Inflated Tear (1968)

"When I die I want them to play "Black And Crazy Blues". I want to be cremated, put in a bag of pot and I want beautiful people to smoke me and (I) hope they get something out of it," - Roland Kirk

Roland Kirk is best known for his ability to play two (sometimes three) saxophones at once.  If I didn't know that I would have assumed there were multiple saxophonists and a separate clarinet/flute/whistle player on this album.  This is largely a melancholy, bluesy affair with a good cover of Duke Ellington's "Creole Love Song."

Also for using a "circular" breathing technique allowing him to play long durations without stopping.  Also for doing a club routine with a young Jay Leno based the premise that the blind Kirk didn't realize Leno was white. And for lots of other stuff . . . I have a DVD of one of his performances, he had great stage presence.

Tom Harrell, Infinity (2019)

Quartet where piano is replaced by mellow electric guitar. Paired with Harrell's introspective, Miles Davis-influenced style, this risks stagnation, but energy is supplied by Jonathan Blake on drums.

CCR Greatest Hits Album
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Kinda in the mood for some 70s electronica: listening to Oxygene, Jean-Michel Jarre.

Very atmospheric!
