The obsession with Alice Coltrane continues. We are exploring more of her later music which is often not jazz at all. But "Hare Krishna" has a hypnotic charm that seems to draw more from African American gospel elements than the lyrics suggest. With its lilting rhythms and what is a presumably (and largely) African American choir from Coltrane's Vedantic Center, one can see that Coltrane never fully left behind her roots.
