Alice Coltrane, astral jazz composer, dies at 69
Alice Coltrane, the jazz performer, composer and widow of saxophonist John Coltrane, has died at 69 of respiratory failure. For nearly 40 years Coltrane had been the keeper of her husband's musical legacy following his death from liver disease in 1967. A pianist and organist, Alice Coltrane was noted for her astral compositions and for bringing the harp on to the jazz bandstand. She died in hospital in California on Friday. Her albums included Ptah the El Daoud and A Monastic Trio. She played her last gigs in the autumn with her son, Ravi.
