On this day in ...... 2007 (5 years ago today), Alice Coltrane died in Los Angeles. She'd been born Alice McLeod 69 years earlier in Detroit, where she began a music career after having studied in Paris. In the early 1960s she met and married her 2d husband, jazz musician John Coltrane, and joined his band; they played and recorded together till his death in 1967.
