Produced by Mark Torres.
This broadcast celebrates the lives of two great musical and creative spirits: John and Alice Coltrane. 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. And to honor Alice and her husband John, 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.
