Tribute to Alice Coltrane

Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, the wife of the jazz giant John Coltrane, has always rested somewhat in the shadows. It didn't help that she gave her career up — to become a spiritual leader. Alice and John Coltrane were together for four years before he died of cancer in 1967, but they shared a deep spiritual connection, Alice was raising four young children as a single mother while heading her spiritual community. But she still made music, despite having left her professional career. KPFK honors Alice “Turiya” Coltrane with this short visual tribute.
