Alice Coltrane moment...


A year hasn't passed since Alice Coltrane transitioned, yet she's on my mind. Then I found this thoughtful post on Coltrane at destination: out, "Transcribing the Infinite: ALICE COLTRANE (1937 - 2007)."



At destination: out, I also happened upon this link to an interview with Muhal Richard Abrams and George E. Lewis of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) that occurred in advance of the book release gathering in New York. The interview was conducted writer Henry (Hank) Michael Shteamer, and posted on his blog, Dark Forces Swing Blind Punches.
