Alice Coltrane

Posted over 5 years ago
...has been fairly active recently, releasing an album in 2004 and actually performing live a few times a year. The occasion of what would have been John Coltrane's 80th birthday has drawn her back to the stage as well.There is a nice online exclusive with Alice on the Way Poetics site - part interview, part profile, part tribute.You don't have to love her music or even jazz in general to groove on her message. And yes, she has one: "...music heals...The mind is really the ruler; it controls everything that we do. We have to appreciate the power of the mind and know that it can do greater things than just the external things that we perceive. If the mind will embrace music in a pure way, it can heal."

    Lester Jonze says good message, music does heal. Without it I think I would have been dead a few times already, yo.

    Kate says Having (finally) found a vinyl copy of "Journey in Satchidananda", I have been on a total Alice Coltrane kick. Thanks for the interview link.
