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.

Jax2, just ordered the Damien Jurado from Amazon. Never heard of him so looking forward to it.
Said it before and I'll say it again. Finding new music through threads like this one is my favorite thing about Audiogon.
Although it may have become cliche from being over played, i think you got to include Bob Marley's "Songs of Freedom"....the version on Legend...ie the sparse guitar, acoustic version.

I think probably quite a few of Bob's tunes would qualify as mystical...though few of the well known ones.
