Coltrane, Alice
Live At Carnegie Hall, 1971
Repress. The musician and spiritual seeker Alice Coltrane was much more than just John Coltrane's second wife. One of
the few harpists to feature prominently in jazz, she was also a renowned pianist and composer and her interest in
spiritual matters greatly helped steer her husband deeper into Krishna consciousness, which had significant bearing on
his music, most notably evident on 'A Love Supreme'. This mesmerising performance, held at Carnegie Hall four years
after John's untimely passing as part of a benefit event for Swami Satchidananda's Integral Yoga Institute, comprised a
stunning and largely improvised rendition of Coltrane's 'Africa,' with Alice's subtle piano and harp expressions
excellently framed by the wailing saxes of Pharaoh Sanders and Archie Shepp, Cecil McBee and Jimmy Garrison trading
non-standard bass lines, a dual drum onslaught from Clifford Jarvis and Ed Blackwell, along with members of the
Institute on harmonium and tamboura.
