Brakhage! How you doin'? How's the West Coast? Have you thrown your lot in with Death Row yet, or are you still reppin' Bad Boy?

Thanks for the YSI.

― Harpal (harpal), Saturday, 11 February 2006 16:45 (twenty years ago)

I just wanted to add my thanks for sharing that album. Very generous.

― Sparkle Motion's Rising Force, Wednesday, 22 February 2006 19:32 (twenty years ago)

I'll add my thanks, too. I just finally listened to HAM this morning. Four times. It's amazing. The rhythm section really just kills. I need to get Monastic Trio.

ten months pass...

There's a rumor (AAJ) that Alice Coltrane has passed away.

― R_S (RSLaRue), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:25 (nineteen years ago)

What the FUCK?!?!?!?!

― Turangalila (Salvador), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:28 (nineteen years ago)

Please someone clarify this now.

― Turangalila (Salvador), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:30 (nineteen years ago)

Nooooooooo. I really really really don't want this to be true.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:33 (nineteen years ago)

wiki page has been updated.

:(((((

― zappi (joni), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:33 (nineteen years ago)

It's true. And, no, my source isn't the page but I trust it.

Oh, man. This is so sad.

― Turangalila (Salvador), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:43 (nineteen years ago)

yes, it's true, Lois Gilbert from Jazz Corner and Chris Albertson (jazz historian) are confirming it. no public confirmation yet, but it does sadly seem to be true.

― Jonathan Abbey (erstwhile), Sunday, 14 January 2007 02:53 (nineteen years ago)

Fuck. I knew I should have gone to see her play last year.

― pdf (Phil Freeman), Sunday, 14 January 2007 03:09 (nineteen years ago)

Oh God, no.

― Sundar (sundar), Sunday, 14 January 2007 04:56 (nineteen years ago)

RIP

― 808 the Bassking (Andrew Thames), Sunday, 14 January 2007 05:44 (nineteen years ago)

SUCK

my first thought is just like with Octavia Butler - at least we have one last work to explore that she left with us before she died.

I am going to put on "Journey In Satchidananda" now and maybe even cry a bit.

what a fucking shame

― max (maxreax), Sunday, 14 January 2007 05:52 (nineteen years ago)

RIP

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Sunday, 14 January 2007 06:04 (nineteen years ago)

she played two months ago in san francisco... and I missed it. by all reports, it was good with a few completely transcendent peaks.

this one really comes as a surprise.

― milton parker (Jon L), Sunday, 14 January 2007 06:14 (nineteen years ago)

She was about 70, wasn't she? Pretty young, anyway. Listening to "Eternity" now. Love this rec.

Yes, I heard this yesterday, but didin't want to post before there was official confirmation. Very sad. RIP.

― toby (tsg20), Sunday, 14 January 2007 09:01 (nineteen years ago)

This is nuts. I had no idea. RIP, you beautiful lady.

I had been listening to Lord Of Lords this morning (for the first time) and wasn't feeling her string arrangements. I mentioned how "corny and Cecil B. DeMille" they were to a friend later tonight and that was that. I feel terrible because I love Alice Coltrane's music and this was unexpected.

― Jay Vee's Return (Manon_69), Sunday, 14 January 2007 09:31 (nineteen years ago)

so sad. i'm going to put universal consciousness on right now. rip.

Ah, fucking hell.

RIP. Will listen to Alice today!

― mcd (mcd), Sunday, 14 January 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

RIP

― i am not a nugget (stevie), Sunday, 14 January 2007 18:22 (nineteen years ago)

someone more familiar with her stuff than i am should start a proper RIP thread, maybe. RIP Alice.

― jed_ (jed), Sunday, 14 January 2007 19:13 (nineteen years ago)

oh man, w/ this and michael brecker's passing it's been a supersad week for jazzheads

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Sunday, 14 January 2007 19:28 (nineteen years ago)

man, i just saw her in SF 2 months ago and she seemed happy and healthy.

― jaxon (jaxon), Sunday, 14 January 2007 20:07 (nineteen years ago)

I've been listening to her heavily the past few months, more than ever.

She lived a beautiful, full life.

― Zachary Scott (Zach S), Sunday, 14 January 2007 21:45 (nineteen years ago)

RIP

― vahid (vahid), Sunday, 14 January 2007 23:03 (nineteen years ago)

Fucking hell, I was listening to her 70s stuff on Warners just a few days ago (Transfiguration is simply *awesome*). AND I was talking about how the Penguin Guide To Jazz are still a bit snotty about her. AND she was booked to play the Barbican in London on April 1 2007. AND Universal were putting together a big compilation to coincide with that. AND she's still being bigged up by the likes of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Keiran Hebden, Adem, Bobby Gillespie... A great shock and a much missed talent. RIP

― john lewis (johnnylewis), Sunday, 14 January 2007 23:58 (nineteen years ago)

Very sad, have been listening to her music all day, much of yesterday as well.

― ubbu (Tate), Monday, 15 January 2007 06:17 (nineteen years ago)

i don't think i've ever mourned the passing of an artist. i've been emotional since i found out.

― jaime (jaime), Monday, 15 January 2007 08:28 (nineteen years ago)

AND she's still being bigged up by the likes of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Keiran Hebden, Adem, Bobby Gillespie

the punchline writes itself i think...

alice c and michael b in the space of one weekend...not my idea of an impulse clearout... :-(

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Monday, 15 January 2007 11:14 (nineteen years ago)

I spent a few hours at work on Friday, sat at my desk, listening to to the albums I have on my mp3 player. I rarely listen to music in the office, but it made a slow task on a drab day into something so peaceful; I emerged from my headphones feeling surprisingly well rested.

Back at work today, seeing this thread re-emerge - and being in that 'Universal Consciousness mode' which her music always seems to inspire in me - I was quite expectant to see somebody writing about a near identical experience. Quite a jolt to read such sad news in its place.

― AJ (o1000ir), Monday, 15 January 2007 11:33 (nineteen years ago)

No way! RIP Alice.

― Tom D. (Dada), Monday, 15 January 2007 11:40 (nineteen years ago)

RIP. I'm just starting to "get" Universal Consciousness, and this made me really sad to see. Ironically this will probably lead to me checking out more of her catalog.

― strom (strom), Monday, 15 January 2007 12:10 (nineteen years ago)

Always sounds a bit daft when someone passes away and people say, "I'm going to [consume substance] and play [celebrated track] really f-ing loud," but, you know, I am actually going to go home and play Galaxy Around Olodumare really f-ing loud. Even if I'm only on the diet Coke.

I thought she'd be around forever. She probably will be.

― Michael Jones (MichaelJ), Monday, 15 January 2007 12:50 (nineteen years ago)

rip :(

― tony conrad schnitzler (sanskrit), Monday, 15 January 2007 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

holy shit, what a downer. RIP.

― Good-Time Slim, Uncle Doobie, and the Great 'Frisco Freak-Out (sixteen sergeants, Monday, 15 January 2007 14:07 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not qualified to say anything here.

But surely, the level of tribute should be raised a little higher than the "holy shit what a bummer"

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 15 January 2007 14:09 (nineteen years ago)

40 years of suspicion on the part of the jazz fraternity aren't easily overturned - strange how she appealed directly to the rock crowd while being laughed out of the jazz court altogether (the Yoko/Linda of jazz was the usual label tagged on her by the Downbeat crowd).
