By the way, Alice was also a pianist and organist. She played piano in Trane's group after McCoy Tyner left. I suggest Trane's Interstellar Regions. She is also on Expression and Live at the Village Vanguard Again!
I find her playing to be very flowing and have a peaceful, meditative quality. Not at all like McCoy, who is much more dynamic. It's not surprising to me that she took the direction that she did.
