SANTANA, CARLOS & COLTRANE, ALICE - ILLUMINATIONS-1974-FIRST UK PRESS-CBS-S69063. Of The Matrix A-1/B-1. Rare British original. After the release of the album, critics wrote: There is a clear discrepancy between the absolutely explicit ambition of this disc and its relatively modest status in the discography of Santana. The reason, obviously, is that powerful swing not quite possible. We can say that this album is a continuation of the storyline begun in Love, Devotion, Surrender with John Maklaflin. Here we are again seeing the mighty spiritual message of the race in free jazz. Here partner is Santana Alice Coltrane, the widow of a famous jazz musician. It is important that it is not only a widow, but she (almost unique in jazz), as well as the pianist and arranger of strings. Encouraged by the presence of bassist Dave Holland. Swing is obvious: a brave attempt to mix together classical, jazz and ethnic rhythms - that is, to make universal, comprehensive album. It is recognized that the more quiet rooms all of which sounds very nice: beautiful passages Santana, Alice strumming the harp strings and blissful delight hearing, and for one this album worth keeping on the shelf. However, the Central part of the album is a 15-minute Angel Of Sunlight that starts very smoothly, but develops into a furious battle of instruments and cultures.
