1974 studio album by John Coltrane
Interstellar Space is a studio album by the American jazz saxophonist John Coltrane, featuring the drummer Rashied Ali. It was recorded in 1967,[1] the year of his death, and released by Impulse! Records in September 1974.[2]
Composition
[edit]Piano and bass were becoming residual by the last days of Coltrane's quartet; you braced yourself for the moment he abandoned any pretext of an underlying harmony and went mano a mano with Elvin Jones.

(Ali, another Philadelphia player, had joined Trane on Meditations, after studying with Philly Joe Jones and playing with Sonny Rollins, Bill Dixon and Paul Bley). But when they arrived at the studio, no one was there. Biographer Ben Ratliff relates: “Ain’t nobody coming?” [Ali] said to Coltrane. “No, it’s just you and me.” “What are we playing? Is it fast? Is it slow?” “Whatever you want it to be. Come on. I’m going to ring some bells. You can do an 8-bar intro.” Though everything was recorded with no rehearsal and in only a single take, the opening track, “Mars,” sounds as though it burst fully formed from Ali and Trane.
