Not P: Alice Coltrane

[John Bailey]

Something very Vineland/Inherent Vice about the story of Alice
Coltrane, second wife of John Coltrane and an accomplished jazz artist
(one of the rare jazz harpists apparently) who after his death went
through a "period of trials" including hallucinations and ended up
founding an ashram in California and producing devotional
jazz/gospel/funk chants on cassette for her followers only.
A collection of the rare ecstatic music was finally released this
month. Worth a listen imo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vynRFzYOTS0
