The early 70s was rife with jazz rock and avant-garde jazz, but Coltrane forged her own path. Her's was a singular strain of spiritual jazz that bore her own signature as well as her late husband's influence. For \u003ci\u003eWorld Galaxy\u003c\/i\u003e she went into the studio with drummer \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?q=Ben+Riley\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen Riley\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, bassist \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?q=Reggie+Workman\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReggie Workman\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, violinist \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?q=Leroy+Jenkins\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeroy Jenkins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, saxophonist \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?q=Frank+Lowe\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrank Lowe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, and timpanist \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?q=Elayne+Jones\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElayne Jones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e in addition to a string orchestra of 16 to help her realize her latest vision. Coltrane herself plays piano, harp, and organ, sometimes playing multiple instruments in a single track. She takes a post-modal approach to \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/search?q=John+Coltrane\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Coltrane's\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e signature tune, \"My Favorite Things.\" She moves undauntedly between organ, piano and harp as the melody is turned inside out, the strings adding to her otherworldly take on the classic. The trilogy of the Galaxies (\"Galaxy Around Olodumare, in Turiya and in Satchidananda\") that make up the heart of the album are soothing and hypnotic, their beautiful washes of color falling like water. Another Coltrane signature, \"A Love Supreme,\" closes out the album. The funky take might catch the listener off guard, but the breakbeat driven organ solo from Coltrane is well worth sticking around for. Five tracks in all.
