Welcome

Santana

A transcendental pivot into spiritual jazz and meditative fusion. Shimmering piano, sprawling guitar duels, and a deep, prayerful calm.

Find on Amazon

It's Santana's most peaceful and spacey record, like a jazz prayer for the soul.

A transcendental, prayerful journey that balances fiery technical fusion with profound meditative stillness.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The ethereal opening of Going Home where Alice Coltrane's piano creates a shimmering, holy atmosphere
The eleven minute sprawl of Flame-Sky where John McLaughlin and Carlos Santana trade blistering, spiritual guitar lines
The sudden shift into a tight, syncopated groove on Samba de Sausalito that grounds the album's loftier ambitions
