Meditations (John Coltrane album) (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Meditations is a 1966 album by John Coltrane. The album was considered the "spiritual follow-up to A Love Supreme." It features Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders as soloists, both playing tenor saxophones. This was the last Coltrane recording to feature his classic quartet lineup of himself, bassist Jimmy Garrison, drummer Elvin Jones and pianist McCoy Tyner (augmented here as a sextet with Sanders and second drummer Rashied Ali), as both Jones and Tyner would quit the band by early 1966. Sanders, Ali, Garrison and Coltrane's wife Alice would comprise his next group. Alternative versions of tracks 2–5 had been recorded in September 1965 by the same musicians minus Rashied Ali and Sanders. They were later issued as First Meditations (for quartet) in 1977. (en)
Meditations est un album composé par John Coltrane, enregistré le 23 novembre 1965. On y retrouve le quartet classique (Tyner/Garrison/Jones) augmenté pour l'occasion par un autre saxophoniste ténor (Pharoah Sanders) et d'un autre batteur (Rashied Ali). Cet opus se situe dans la dernière période de l'artiste (1965-67), amorcée par le célèbre A Love Supreme. Celle-ci est très proche de ce que l'on appelle alors « Free jazz » ou « New thing ». Meditations rejoint moins le mouvement contestataire en faveur de la cause noire qu'il ne s'inscrit dans une dimension spirituelle, comme en témoigne le titre The Father and The Son and The Holy Ghost. Cette recherche d'une spiritualité autre reste tout de même très près dudit mouvement d'émancipation en ce qu'elle remet en question les croyances occidentales qui ont été imposées au peuple afro-américain depuis leur arrivée en Amérique.[réf. nécessaire] L'album est subdivisé en deux grandes parties, la première étant composée de deux mouvements, l'autre de trois. Les mouvements au sein d'une partie étant joués de manière continue, la seule véritable pause se situe entre la piste 2 (Compassion) et 3 (Love). (fr)
Meditations è un album discografico in studio del musicista jazz John Coltrane, pubblicato nel 1966 dalla Impulse! Records. Si tratta di una delle esperienze di ascolto più "estreme" dell'intera discografia di Coltrane insieme al contemporaneo Om di poco precedente. Una evasione completa da ogni canone jazz e musicale in generale. (it)
