From The Vault

On Jan­u­ary 12, 2007, Alice Coltrane passed away from res­pi­ra­to­ry fail­ure in the West Hills of Los Ange­les. She was 69.

Alice was a very hum­ble woman, rarely speak­ing to the press and pre­fer­ring to speak about John when she did. In July 2005, she was gra­cious enough to sit down with her friend and KPFK music pro­gram­mer, Mag­gie LeP­ique, and Mark Tor­res from the Paci­fi­ca Radio Archives.

The inter­view is inti­mate and per­son­al, stick­ing most­ly to John’s life and her life with him, but it is can­did and unlike any oth­er inter­view Alice Coltrane gave.

We’re proud to say it only exists here in the Paci­fi­ca Radio Archives.

And this week, to hon­or Alice Coltrane and her hus­band John Coltrane, we air excerpts from the doc­u­men­tary that was made from the orig­i­nal inter­view, enti­tled Trane Legacy.

We also play selec­tions from the famous Frank Kovsky 1966 inter­view with John Coltrane.
