180 Gram Vinyl. Catalog Number: 5894813 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 0602458948134 Recorded in 1968 and intended as a tribute to her late husband, Alice Coltrane is supported in her first solo outing by Pharoah Sanders, Jimmy Garrison and Rashied Ali -- all members of John Coltrane's last quintet. While initial reviews to the album were lukewarm upon release, looking at it in the context of her larger body of work, A Monastic Trio serves as a delightful foreshadowing of what was to come. This Verve By Request title is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Third Man in Detroit.
