Album Notes & Community Reviews

United by their shared devotion to guru Sri Chinmoy and a mutual reverence for John Coltrane, two of the era's greatest guitarists unleashed a blistering spiritual firestorm. 'Love Devotion Surrender' is a fiercely energetic, insanely technical jazz-rock masterwork, delivering wonderfully complex, deeply passionate improvisations steeped in intense religious psychedelia.
