	Musicians - Alice Coltrane

Alice Coltrane (b. 1937) is an American jazz pianist, organist, and harpist.

Coltrane was born Alice McLeod on 27 August 1937 in Detroit, Michigan. She studied classical music, and was given piano lessons by Bud Powell. She began playing jazz as a professional in Detroit, with her own trio and as a duo with vibist Terry Pollard. From 1962 to 1963 she played with Terry Gibbs's quartet, when she met John Coltrane, with whose group she played piano from 1965 until his death in 1967, and whom she married in 1966. They had three children: singer Miki and saxophonists Oran and Ravi.

Since her husband's death she has continued to play with her own groups, moving into more and more meditative music, and recently playing with her children. She is one of the few harpists in the history of jazz.

In the early 1970s, after years of involvement with Eastern religion, Coltrane took the name Swami Turyasangitananda. She is a devotee of the Indian guru Sathya Sai Baba.
