“Om”, recorded in October 1965 but not released until 1968, displays some of John Coltrane’s most experimental work yet. There is a sublime quality within this album, a spiritual transcendence. In fact the name, "Om", is the sacred syllable in Hindu religion, which symbolizes the infinite or the entire Universe.
A Meditative voyage exploring the realms of not only the music at hand, but a personal odyssey where the musicians discover their full potential, and then go even further. It's all about how far they can go, what new realms could be explored musically by pushing themselves, and their instruments, to the final limit.
