Alice Coltrane’s Ptah, The El Daoud stands as a landmark in spiritual jazz, conceived and recorded in the basement studio of her Long Island home in early 1970. Joined by visionary saxophonists Pharoah Sanders and Joe Henderson, the album weaves together meditative, expansive compositions that reflect Coltrane’s profound creativity and spiritual journey during a pivotal time in her life.

This reissue, part of the Verve By Request Series, captures the immersive quality of the original analog tapes, allowing each detail—from the inspired interplay between Sanders and Henderson to Coltrane’s evocative piano and harp—to shine. Revered for its deeply personal atmosphere and transcendent soundscapes, Ptah, The El Daoud remains an essential listen for those drawn to the transformative power of jazz.
