Need to concentrate. Jazz good, trippy jazz better. Album on repeat. This is John's wife, she played harp.

Alice Coltrane was probably the only really notable harpist in the history of jazz. She initially played piano, replacing the great McCoy Tyner in her husband's ( John ) band in 1966 until his death only a year later.
She then played with her own bands with her music becoming increasingly meditative and spiritual. She also began to follow Indian music and religions.
The excellent ( same titled) LP that this track is from is surprisingly accessible for one taking risks in the name of experimental jazz.
