On this episode of Piano Jazz, pianist and composer Alice Coltrane shimmers on a set of her original tunes and honors the legacy of her husband, saxophonist John Coltrane. She also duets with host Marian McPartland in Trane's "Giant Steps" and "Miles' Mode."
"I remember her working at Birdland back before she and John were married," McPartland says. "I enjoyed playing his tunes with her: 'Giant Steps' and also 'Miles' Mode,' which is a very good tune."
Coltrane opens the program with two of her compositions: "Transfiguration" and "Prema (Divine Love)." Her skill as a harpist is reflected in the sparkling, light treble notes of her right hand; with the other hand, she brings the broad, suspended chords of her days playing the organ. Coltrane's playing is dense, which made her a natural replacement for John's former pianist, McCoy Tyner.
McPartland performs solo in the ballad "Naima," before the two get into a final duet in another solid John Coltrane tune, "Blues Minor," to close the program.
Originally recorded Dec. 4, 1981.
Set List
"Transfiguration" (A. Coltrane)
"Prema (Divine Love)" (A. Coltrane)
"Miles' Mode" (J. Coltrane)
"One for the Father" (A. Coltrane)
"Giant Steps" (J. Coltrane)
"Prelude, Opus 27" (F. Chopin)
"Naima" (J. Coltrane)
"Blues Minor" (J. Coltrane)

I would like to hear an interview of Alice in which the interview is focused on her and her accomplishments without such strong emphasis on her husband and his accomplishments. Her life and music were extraordinary separate from anything John Coltrane did.

Alice Coltrane is one of the greatest musicians to have ever lived on this earth. Her piano playing on Prema is remarkable. I could swear there are other musicians playing along with her but I know it is only her alone. Prema is some of the greatest music I have ever heard and I have been listening to that song over and over again throughout my life. Yes she is deep as they say in music and when you listen to her play you are deep also because she takes you there.

I agree it´s so sad that Alice Coltrane is sitting here with her astonishing genius mind and is asked questions about John. Her music is so unique, she has such an unique stlye. Just the detail of how she presses the keys while playing, the changing tempo, the colour of her harmonies...it´s so alive! O my god! I have never heard that before. I admire her so much and I feel sadness when it happens so often that female artists are so much associated with their often famous partner. So seldomly it´s the other way around. Has to do so much with deeply patriarchal structures...Alice Coltrane was so much stronger than all these structures. Her spirit was able to transcend otherwise we would not be able to listen to all her records. So lucky she was that strong. I wish there were more interviews and biographies out there. It´s always interesting to understand something about the way an artist thinks and hear it in her own words.

Beautiful playing by AC and host. Even though host focused so much on John Coltrane and not her, AC was just gracious and in the light about it. It made me cringe a bit when host decided to solo at the end on Naima, a great JC composition, but named after a previous wife of JC. Was it insensitive of host to do that?...all AC did was to lovingly complement the host’s interpretation. What a joy to get a glimpse into the person, a great spirit and master musician at the pinnacle of art and jazz.

CrestVisionInc Swamini is so egoless and selfless in this interview. I wish there were more interviews of her being interviewed by people who genuinely are interested in HER. I did not enjoy this interviewer at all, but thankful to hear the Divine vibrations of Swamini Turiyasangitananda!
@brianking8190 5 жыл бұрын
I can see why many would cringe at times during this interview, because Turiya’s enlightenment and maturity was so reverential, it made Marion sound ignorant and thoughtless by comparison. I think the opening, where it was falsely asserted that Turiya “later became involved in playing church organ and gospel music” kind of foretold how and why Marion’s approach to the interview was not well planned; though it is clear that she had practiced for the duets, which perhaps acquits her of the notion of disrespect or lack of admiration. Marion did her very best to honor Turiya and John for their combined and individual contributions - a feat for any interviewer. This is why Marion said she hadn’t “dared hope” to get the opportunity, and why she asked to duet “with great fear and trembling.”

AC seemed not very easy to interview- Marian seemed having to pull info from her, she seemed to play all over the place - a good technician but musically hard for me to follow- being really just a Jazz novice. Marian was a good interviewer with all but a few- AC one of the few it seemed here.
@brendamarieosbey765 3 жыл бұрын
This is due mostly to McPartland's asking questions on the spot rather than having prepared (at least some of) her questions in advance, a skill any good interviewer develops early on. Also, she's clearly somewhat starstruck and definitely excited by the presence of Alice Coltrane there in the studio. So this is more of a conversation than an interview in the formal sense. Alice Coltrane's a major force in Jazz, rarely spoke publicly, and clearly isn't using this conversation as PR. It's simply a conversation between Jazz musicians. AC is self-composed, gracious, generous. And what you call her playing "all over the place" likely has to do with your admitted newness to Jazz. Be prepared to listen and enjoy and learn without expectation of what it "should be."
