''Ptah, the El Daoud'' () is the third solo album by Alice Coltrane. This was Coltrane's first album with horns (aside from one track on ''A Monastic Trio'' (), on which Pharoah Sanders played bass clarinet). Sanders is recorded on the right channel and Joe Henderson on the left channel throughout. All the compositions were written by Coltrane. The title track is named for the Egyptian god Ptah, "the El Daoud" meaning "the beloved". "Turiya", according to the liner notes, "was defined by Alice as 'a state of consciousness — the high state of Nirvana, the goal of human life", while "Ramakrishna" is named after the 19th-century Bengali religious figure; this track omits the horns. The origin of the title of "Blue Nile" is self-explanatory and, in it, Coltrane switches from piano to harp, and Sanders and Henderson from tenor saxophones to alto flutes. "Mantra" returns to piano and saxes. Album cover design was by Jim Evans. ==Track listing== #"Ptah, the El Daoud" – 13:58 #"Turiya and Ramakrishna" – 8:19 #"Blue Nile" – 6:58 #"Mantra" – 16:33 All tracks recorded at the Coltrane home studio in Dix Hills, New York on 26 January 1970. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ptah, the El Daoud」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
