Alice Coltrane: The Carnegie Hall Concert

by Mike Jurkovic
April 18, 2024

The most perfect of time machines, with no errant destinations and no abrupt landings, The Carnegie Hall Concert transports one to a time when artists took their art seriously, when it was sacrosanct. Alice Coltrane's harp comes on like the siren lure of angels, like a missionary, calling all to stop their labor. It seems to say, “Come to listen, come to wonder, come to rest, don't be afraid." And Coltrane wasn't, not ever. Here she was with ...

by Kurt Gottschalk
May 24, 2020

From the 1995-2003 archive: This article first appeared at All About Jazz in December 2002.
