This is ‘Beloved California Temple’, an ecstatic spiritual jazz excursion - out today, the 2nd offering from @musicbotofasinasurya ‘s incredible album Everyone’s Children. 💎 Here, Botofasina’s hypnotic piano motifs and Carlos Niño’s expressive percussion is joined by breathy saxophone lines from Pablo Calogero, before Dwight Trible’s dramatic wordless vocals bring things to a rapturous climax to the accompaniment of Efa Etoroma Jr.’s crashing drum crescendos, with the harmonic brilliance of Nate Mercereau’s guitar synth fortifying the whole performance. The song is as an ode to the Swamini Turiyasangitananda Alice Coltrane's Sai Anantam Ashram in the Malibu Mountains outside of Los Angeles, in which Surya grew up. Surya Botofasina shares: "I can still hear the sounds of Swamini's organ, along with the water flowing through the property. The Ashram to me is the main reason why I have any redeemable qualities throughout my life. I learned all of my values there. More importantly I learned what introspection feels like. I learned what meditation does for the body, and how to wait for an answer from the Divine. Every time I reach a place of music that may connect with other human beings on the planet . . . It is only because I have watched Her connect with beings both visible and invisible to common eyesight, effortlessly." >> Listen https://suryabotofasina.bandcamp.com/ >> Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DcPpdnedI0 l i n k s i n b i o ✨ Surya Botofasina - Piano Carlos Niño - Percussion @tribledwight - Voice @p_calogero1954 - Saxophone @natemercereau - Guitar Synth @efajrmusic - Drums Music by Surya Botofasina and Carlos Niño Mixed by Carlos Niño and Nate Mercereau Produced by Carlos Niño Recorded by @turnonthesunlight Jesse Peterson Mastered by Frank Merritt at @thecarverystudio Incredible Videography by Azul Niño @yourchildhooddog Photographs by Grace Oh, Caleb Alexander Vinson, Rosin Hem, Padma Jones Album Design and Art Direction by @nepsidhu MUSIC FOR THE SPIRIT #SuryaBotofasina #CarlosNino #DeepListening #Spiritual #Soundscapes #Meditative #HealingMusic #SpiritualAvantGarde #SpiritualJazz #NepSidhu #SpiritmuseRecords
