Alice ColtraneAlice Coltrane, widow of the jazz saxophonist John Coltrane and the pianist in his later bands, died on Friday, January 12, 2007, in Los Angeles. She was 69. The cause was respiratory failure, said Marilyn McLeod, her sister and assistant.
Although Alice might have been John Coltrane's wife, she was also a fine musician in her own right. In their tribute to Alice, the out-there jazz site, Destination Out, writes: "And here's the important thing: Alice was never afraid to look foolish. Some of her choices like, say, letting her guru chant over her rendition of "A Love Supreme," could make even her staunchest supporters blush. But that was part of the vision, too. She was pushing herself - both musically and spiritually - as far as she could, trusting her wild muse. Many of today's artists are far too fucking tasteful, afraid to go out on a limb for fear of it snapping under them, and end up settling for work that's simply pedestrian. It's that old saw: Good taste is the enemy of art."
After a 26-year hiatus from her previous album, 1978’s Transfiguration, which was recorded live at UCLA, Alice released Translinear Light in 2004. She was compelled to return to recording music by son Ravi Coltrane, who begged her for five years before she finally acquiesced to his request.
"It was really fun recording," Alice told Arthurmag.com. "(Ravi) was the one who really pleaded and begged and told me, 'Everywhere I go people are asking (about you)'."
John Coltrane had asked his wife to be part of his musical legacy by replacing his original pianist McCoy Tyner and have her join his band. "He had such insight," Alice said. "I was surprised that he asked me to join the band. (It was) not that I felt unqualified or not up to level; it wasn’t a matter of music or ability. It was just the number of talented people in the music world."
Writing in jazzreview.com, Edward Kane commented on the February 18 show at the UCLA: "Part of the magic of hearing music performed in person is the fact that you can’t know for certain what will happen in advance. That’s true in all kinds of music, but it’s particularly true when it comes to jazz. You can have an idea, sometimes a fairly good one, but you don’t know exactly what live music is going to sound like until it is played. When the artist in question hasn't played publicly for decades, as Alice Coltrane hadn't, it deepens the sense of alchemy that much further. That enigmatic quality never quite left the performance, even as the music unfolded. Such was the sublime nature of the concert, striking awe into the audience and inviting them to delight in the mystery of music, of life."
