Ep. 31: Alice Coltrane - Ptah, the El Daoud

What better way to usher in the Leap Year than to cover an artist who is arguably even more unique? Alice Coltrane is one of the most dynamic names in jazz history. Cody and Hilary explore her journey to this record, and Ptah's journey from ancient Egypt to 1970.This lineup is absolutely stacked with jazz legends, and they are all locked in and taking their cue from the person at the helm - Alice freakin' Coltrane.Spiritual, ethereal, inquisitive, and intentional, Ptah the El Daoud is a transitional record for Alice Coltrane. We are lucky to have such a brilliant marker of her exploration of spirituality and universality.Thanks for listening!
