Description

Alice Coltrane: A Musical Visionary Rediscovered Alice Coltrane (1937-2007) was a groundbreaking artist whose innovative music bridged genres and transcended time. For decades, she was overshadowed by her more famous husband, John Coltrane, but her legacy is now being reevaluated. This biography, the first full-length study of her life and art, sets the record straight, elevating her to her rightful place alongside her husband as one of the greatest musical visionaries of the 20th century. Cosmic Music: The Life, Art and Transcendence of Alice Coltrane uncovers previously unknown connections between Alice Coltrane and other influential figures, from Stevie Wonder to Doja Cat. The book also explores her spiritual leadership and her influence on a new generation of musicians, particularly women and artists of color. A deeply researched and elegant corrective to the historical record, this biography is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in jazz, music, and the intersection of art and spirituality.
