		WOODLAND HILLS, Calif. — The arc of Alice Coltrane's life traces a remarkable trajectory, from her roots as a Detroit-bred bebop pianist named Alice McLeod to her emergence as a hero of the jazz avant-garde in the late `60s and her transformation into a religious teacher and mystic grounded in Hinduism and Eastern philosophy.

		Music obviously ran in Alice Coltrane's family; her older brother was bassist Ernie Farrow, who in the '50s and '60s played in the bands of Barry Harris, Stan Getz, Terry Gibbs and especially, Yusef Lateef.
		She met John Coltrane while touring and recording with Gibbs around 1962-63; she married the saxophonist in 1965, and joined his band — replacing McCoy Tyner — a year later.
		With John Coltrane, on albums like Live at the Village Vanguard Again or Concert in Japan, her playing is characterized by rhythmically ambiguous arpeggios and a pulsing thickness of texture.

	washingtonpost.com: Alice Coltrane Brings Her Spirit to 'Light'
		Nearly three decades later, Alice and John's son Ravi enjoys a steadily growing reputation as a solid improviser on tenor and soprano saxophones, the very horns his father elevated to a new instrumental stature.
		(Coltrane has presided over her own spiritual center since 1975 and has released albums of a religious nature during the past two decades.) The Ravi Coltrane-produced "Translinear Light" may curb the unbridled intensity of some of the 1960s and '70s albums, but it remains a stirring comeback.
		Coltrane forgoes harp on the album, but the signature sound of her Wurlitzer organ, as well as her still swinging, gospel-infused piano work, acts as a virtual musical fingerprint.

		When Alice Coltrane joined her husband's band in 1966, John Coltrane was already considered a pioneer, well-known for exploring pathways of artistic expression, improvisation, and higher meaning.
		Alice's organ freakout on the first track, "Spiritual Eternal," evokes tones heard previously only in John's outer-limit explorations; "Los Caballos" features several percussionists playing African-style polyrhythms, as well as a surprisingly funky Charlie Haden bass line.
		According to the liner notes, the singers were reluctant to chant the Sanskrit until Alice told them to "sing the songs in their own way and style." Following her direction, the singers really cut loose, turning these ancient texts into something akin to an old-fashioned prayer meeting, more celebratory and joyous than sacred and somber.

	BBC - Jazz Review - Alice Coltrane, Transfiguration
		Understandably, reactions to Alice Coltrane have often focussed as much on her spirituality as on her playing.
		Alice's long closing solo is also commendable, but the (rather dated) tone of the electronic keyboard she employs does become rather monotonous and wearying over the album's eighty minutes.
		For this reason, easily the best piece here is "Prema", on which Coltrane plays acoustic piano, and is joined by a nine-piece string section (overdubbed) that provides a perfect complement to her slow, gospel-tinged style.

		Alice Coltrane had become a musical world unto herself by the time she issued World Galaxy, recorded in late 1971.
		The jazz modalism Coltrane presents on "Galaxy Around Olodumare" is quickly undone by Lowe in his solo and reconstructed into polyphony by the string section; it's remarkable.
		There is a narration by Coltrane's guru inside it, a poem really, spoken by the great guru Satchidananda, which no doubt would have moved John Coltrane, but the real news is Alice's killer, funky breakbeat organ solo that covers the tune top to bottom in blues, in stark contrast to Jenkins' improvisation.

	Jazz Concert Review - The Return of Alice Coltrane@ jazzreview.com
		Alice Coltrane did a little bit of everything in her in nearly two hours on stage.
		Coltrane's originals draw heavily from Indian raga and avant-garde jazz, so hearing her and the band play pieces in more traditional forms with such mastery and beauty established a type of credibility for them as they went on to take the music into freer territory.
		Alice Coltrane, particularly on her solo organ pieces, displayed an almost dizzying ability to string fast runs of notes together, and you could hear echoes of that in Ravi's playing.

	ALICE COLTRANE Bio
		That appearance by Alice with Ravi was hailed by critics and fans alike as a major triumph, spurring notions that the pianist-organist and widow of John Coltrane was indeed on top of her game and still very much a creative force to be reckoned with.
		Born Alice McLeod on August 27, 1937 in Detroit, Michigan, she studied classical music as a child and participated in the gospel band at church.
		By then, Alice had been touring and recording with vibes player Terry Gibbs (she appears on Gibbsâ 1963 album, Terry Gibbs Plays Jewish Melodies in Jazztime) and Trane was on the same bill with his own quartet.

	Spiritual Jazz: Alice Coltrane & Beyond
		Coltrane’s widow, Alice, took on the spiritual quest of her husband as well as the musical interest in Indian and African elements.
		The latter album, featuring Alice, Sanders, Joe Henderson, Ron Carter, and Ben Riley, is an overlooked jazz classic of the period, easily as interesting and potentially influential as a number of John’s recordings.
		Alice became so interested in the spiritual aspect of her life that she left the music business to found her own ashram.

		Eventually she replaced McCoy Tyner as the Coltrane group's pianist in 1966.
		John Coltrane's work became a spiritual wellspring for her, but she surely developed her own style on piano, organ, harp, and later, Indian instruments such as the tamboura.
		She was for a long while the executor of John Coltrane's estate, though her own recording career seems to have ended in the late 1970s.

	ALICE COLTRANE DISCOGRAPHY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Alice Coltrane's organ is fierce and shrieking, sounding more like an oboe than a keyboard: no funky soul jazz here.
		Only John Coltrane's and portions of his quartet members' parts are original dating from previously unreleased mid-1960s performances: the bass solos, the harp and organ parts, the percussion parts, and sweeping Stravinsky-like string arrangements were overdubbed in 1972.
		Capsule Info: Recorded live at UCLA in 1978, Alice set aside the Hare Krishna choirs and exotic instruments to a return to her early period's trio style, revisiting several of her own tunes as well as John Coltrane's way-out period opus "Leo".

		The CD reissue of Alice Coltrane's landmark Journey to Satchidananda reveals just how far the pianist and widow of John Coltrane had come in the three years after his death.
		Coltrane's harp playing, too, is an element of tonal expansion as much as it is a modal and melodic device.
