Coltrane Writes Herself Back Into Jazz Scene

Coltrane, widow and former bandmate of saxophone icon John Coltrane and mother of rising-star saxophonist Ravi Coltrane, broke her jazz silence with a compelling new disc, "Translinear Light," released Oct. 5 on Verve.

The album features Alice delivering an 11-track package of originals, 'Trane gems like "Leo" and "Crescent" and spirituals from the Christian and Hindu traditions. In addition to her lyrical prowess on piano, Coltrane marvels on Wurlitzer organ with her singular bent-note, double-reed-like improvisations. [washingtonpost.com]
