“When John said that he wanted me to play with him on piano, I told him that there were many others who were qualified. He said: ‘I want you there because you can do it.” Quote by Alice Coltrane, a remarkable and amazing pianist and adoring wife of Jazz legend John Coltrane.

She later said: “John not only taught me to explore, but to play thoroughly and completely.”

I love that: “play thoroughly and completely.”

Above is a heartfelt photograph of the beautiful couple holding hands in Japan 1966.

Very Touching ⚘

Just saying.
