When you are playing with someone who really has something to say, even though they may be otherwise quite different in style, there’s one thing that remains constant. And that is the tension of the experience, that electricity, that kind of feeling that is a lift sort of feeling. No matter where it happens, you know when that feeling comes upon you, and it makes you feel happy. John Coltrane

Turiyasangitananda translates as the Transcendental Lord’s highest song of Bliss, and that’s what today’s show aspires to bring you.
