rostasi Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) Damn Damn Damn! Strange coincidence because I was just thinking this morning about how difficult it was getting the Trane sweatshirt that I'm now wearing from the Trane "church" back in the early 90's. Man, what a day this has been so far... May you ride that lovely sky boat. Edited January 13, 2007 by rostasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Deep condolences to the family and may her spirit Rest In Peace. I'm stunned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 RIP. A great musician on her own terms. A shame that she's spent most of her career in her husband's shadow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Berger Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 RIP, Alice. I will give Ptah the El Daoud a spin. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felser Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 RIP. A great musician on her own terms. A shame that she's spent most of her career in her husband's shadow... She really did make her own mark on the music. Those first four Impulse albums were incredible works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregK Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Was this sudden? She certainly looked fine, seemed to be healthy when I saw her in Ann Arbor in September. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Very sad news - I'm not nearly as familiar with her own music as I should be, alas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazaro Vega Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 That concert in Ann Arbor was such as personal event, the whole family there to celebrate their father's birthday and featuring special guest Roy Haynes...Glad to have heard Alice Coltrane live that one time. Searching for words....The musical mysticism she draped herself in, the deep Eastern vibe of her solos, was clearer live. That night Ravi kept most of his solos short and encouraged her to really play at length.....Sorry to hear this news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Sorry to say the only time I heard her "in person" was with the last John Coltrane band at the Plugged Nickel. Last time I saw her husband too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghost of miles Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Weird and sad--I was just starting to work on a show about her for March. I'd just started to develop an appreciation for her music away from JC in the past several years... a lesser-known side to her story was that she came out of the great late 1950s/early 1960s Detroit jazz scene. (Alice McLeod, right?) The march of death has been brutal of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest youmustbe Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 i heard Alice Mcleod with Terry Gibbs at Birdland in 63 opening for Trane...and of course, later with Trane. I don't know details, but I was told it was sudden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Geez, what a horrible day for jazz. Filled with bad news. R.I.P Ms. Coltrane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMP Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I also heard her at Birdland (July, '63) on that bill with Coltrane - she played vibes as well as piano with Gibbs - think that's when they met. (I think Gibbs son and Ravi Coltrane are also friends.) Unexpected and sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalupa Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Has this been confirmed yet??? I can't find any mention of her death anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face of the Bass Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 People in a position to know are confirming this. Chris Albertson says it is true over at All About Jazz, and Lois Gilbert says it is true over at JazzCorner. Haven't heard any details, though.
