I think I get where you're coming from and would certainly echo Meeting by the River as a good example. In a similar trance-like way I'd point to some of the collaborations of the oudist, Anouar Brahem. My favorite being, "Le Pas du Chat Noir," but many of his ECM recordings achieve that for me - they come to mind in reflecting on Meeting by the River as a brilliant fusion of talented musicians just finding that groove together that sucks you into their magic. These are the kind of recordings one can never tire of. Good thread subject!
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.
