Mystical Performances


A few other threads have prompted me to start this one...

I'm wanting performances where the artist seems to transcend him/herself and tap into something/someone greater than themselves to create an almost mystical experience...almost channeling something else or someone else with Music flowing out of them almost without their ability to resist it. I"m talking about more than just virtuosity here...but soul. Usually it's somewhat spontaneous...so perhaps live performances more likely...but also a few studio recordings. Few artists that I know have done this.... I would say probably Coltrane on "A love supreme" and maybe Miles Davis. Some would say Hendrix did it on occaision. As for women...help me here.. Who are some others? What are the albums? Irrespective of genre.

Ah yes, Meeting by the River is amazing. Very special indeed. If you've read my other threads, i've mentioned that one before too.

Further, i would say Nick Drake did that on Fruit tree. I would also say Nina Simone did it in one live version of Sinnerman.
Ry Cooder's and V.M. Bhatt's collaboration: "A Meeting by the River" on Water Lily APW029-45.
