A Monastic Trio marks Alice Coltrane's powerful debut as a bandleader, recorded in 1968 as an expressive homage to her late husband, John Coltrane. Supported by legendary musicians Pharoah Sanders, Jimmy Garrison, and Rashied Ali — all of whom played with John Coltrane’s final quintet — Alice’s spiritual vision and innovative approach shine through each track, blending rich piano, harp, and organ tones with a distinct sense of reverence.

This album stands as a pivotal moment in jazz history, foreshadowing the transcendental soundscapes that would define Alice Coltrane’s later work. Released as part of the Verve By Request Series, A Monastic Trio serves as both a tribute and a transformative statement, offering listeners an essential experience for discovering the breadth and depth of her artistry.
