3028244, Alice Coltrane Posted by bentagain, Thu Nov-05-20 05:30 AM
Has given me life this week.
Pops was a jazz man
I enjoyed more traditional jazz as a young man
Pops was a Miles head, I am a Trane guy
Being from Philly, I am familiar with Sun Ra
As a young man, it was too abstract and a little weird
In middle age, Alice's swami vibe is f'n perfect
There's something about knowing it's a woman on the piano that takes it to another level
Her playing is nimble, light and soothing
Alice Coltrane...may just be my favorite female artist.
