{"product_id":"lord-of-lords","title":"Lord Of Lords","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 1972, \u003ci\u003eLord Of Lords\u003c\/i\u003e was Alice Coltrane's final album for Impulse! and the last installment in her awe-inspiring trilogy that also included \u003ci\u003eUniversal Consciousness\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWorld Galaxy\u003c\/i\u003e. While all three records featured strings alongside a jazz ensemble, \u003ci\u003eLords Of Lords\u003c\/i\u003e stood apart from its predecessors due to the sheer size of the orchestra (12 violins, 6 violas and 7 cellos, arranged and conducted by Coltrane herself) and its refined, blissful performances – shining a vital light on the devotional path that she would follow for the rest of her career. On the first two pieces, \u003ci\u003eAndromeda's Suffering\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSri Rama Ohnedaruth\u003c\/i\u003e (titled after the spiritual name for her late husband), Alice's dazzling piano and harp blend perfectly with the blanket of strings, while the haunting rhythm section of Charlie Haden and Ben Riley and a magnificent, droning electric organ emerge immaculately on the title track and closer \u003ci\u003eGoing Home\u003c\/i\u003e. Coltrane's musical vision is bold in its imagination and cosmic in scope, yet remains intensely personal and immediate. \u003ci\u003eLord Of Lords\u003c\/i\u003e points inward as much as to the beyond, recalling her classical roots and recasting Eastern modes to radically invert the American avant-garde and spiritual jazz traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elemental","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50426018201931,"sku":"1038951","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e1b67297-40cd-4b13-a387-57323e5630ee_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726798762","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/lord-of-lords","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
