Soul Jazz Records Presents Celestial Vibration - LP

Soul Jazz are issuing this super-deep spiritual album from Edward Larry Gordon, AKA Laraaji (Brian Eno collaborator). This 1978 debut album on his own private-press label (SWN Corp) was only ever pressed in 500 copies and has been unavailable for over 30 years. Edward Larry Gordon had his roots in funk and jazz but in the 1970s turned to both transcendental meditation and music to accompany meditation. A chance encounter with Brian Eno led to the release of “Laraaji (a pun on his name) - Days of Radiance” for Brian Eno’s seminal Ambient series on EG Records in 1980. ‘Celestial Vibrations’ was his first ever album, self-recorded and selffinanced. The music is a sublime blend of his jazz musical roots with the hypnotic music created for transcendental meditation - producing one of the deepest, spiritual records you may ever hear in your life! Laraaji went on to expand his mystical life studying under gurus as Swami Satchidananda and Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati, founder of the Ananda Ashram in Monroe, New York. He has released over 50 albums since ‘Celestial Vibration’ mainly produced solely for use in meditation schools. He is currently a Laughter Master and teaches enlightenment through his ‘Laughter Meditation Workshops’ which he presents around the world.
