ALICE COLTRANE was born in Detroit in 1937. Her interest in music started at a young age when she began playing organ at the Mount Olive Baptist Church. By the early 1960s she was a professional jazz musician playing with her own groups and also collaborating and performing with Charlie Haden, Ornette Coleman, Carlos Santana, and many others. She married John Coltrane in 1965, and not long after that she joined the John Coltrane quartet, replacing pianist McCoy Tyner. Together, the Coltranes embarked on a deeply spiritual journey of musical exploration and forged a new genre of musical expression. In 1975, after a trip to India, she founded and was the director of the Vedantic Center; she would later establish a spiritual community in the Santa Monica Mountains. She passed away in 2007.
