Description
Alice Coltrane's “Ptah, The El Daoud” (1970) is one of the overlooked gems of this period. The music is enchanting; it swings with precision and ease and draws the listener into its orbit with an uncommon grace. Recorded with a superb quintet, Ron Carter’s bass creates that bottom that allows Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, and Joe Henderson to fly or hover. Each note is chosen carefully but deftly too. And when he solos, you just feel a sense of satisfaction. Meanwhile, Drummer Ben Riley has the golden touch. Not only does he play the beat, he plays the beat between the beat. From the purifying catharsis of the first moments of the title track to the last moments of "Mantra," with its disjointed piano dance and passionate ribbons of tenor cast out into the universe, the album resonates with beauty, clarity, and emotion. “Ptah, The El Daoud” deserves to be embraced for the gem it is; a truly great album.
