Music for... a Coltrane state of mind by Godriguez

Godriguez – the guitarist and frontman of Sydney’s own psychedelic jazz explorers GODTET –  compiled this playlist. John Coltrane included the following words in the liner notes to ‘A Love Supreme’: “Elation. Elegance. Exaltation. All from God. Thank you God. Amen.” Whatever God means to you: here is a collection of music seeking that which is beyond this mortal coil.

“Armenian sacred music recorded in a prince’s tomb that was built 3rd Century AD. Note the reverb in the recording of the notes reverberating on the walls of the tomb. Armenia was the first country in the world to adopt Christianity and this music is the origins of Christian European religious music as we know it.”
