Sara - sad but true: "..As a famous widow with bold artistic designs of her own, Alice Coltrane has often been derided as the Yoko Ono of jazz..."

i have a friend who always says "the beatles broke up yoko ono" as opposed to the usual saying. i like it.
i hate how her vision is called "artistic designs of her own"....makes it sound like she had weird motives or something.

On a positive note we can only hope that now his mum is no longer hiding the masters under her bed we will get to hear more late period JC recordings from Ravi Coltrane - the showboat stuff he broadcast and which was subsequently bootlegged sounds great! Fingies crossed..
I suppose somebody somewhere will probably want to issue her 80s casette releases as well which may be a good or bad thing.
