Alice Coltrane

Alice Coltrane (Harp)

Died: 12th January 2007, Los Angeles, California, U.S

Nationality: American

Alice Coltrane also known by her adopted Sanskrit name Turiyasangitananda, was an American jazz musician, composer and swamini.

An accomplished pianist and one of the few harpists in the history of jazz, Coltrane recorded many albums as a bandleader, beginning in the late 1960s and early 1970s for Impulse! and other record labels. She was married to the jazz saxophonist and composer John Coltrane, with whom she performed in 1966–1967. One of the foremost proponents of spiritual jazz, her eclectic music proved influential both within and outside the world of jazz.
