The Ecstatic Music of Alice Coltrane

ALICE COLTRANE TURIYASANGITANANDA, AN APPRECIATION

Presented with Luaka Bop

Alice Coltrane was an African American artist, mother, and spiritual leader who grew up playing gospel, classical, and jazz in Detroit. She was an exceptional musician who married John Coltrane and continued his spiritual quest.

When John Coltrane died in 1967, it left his wife of only a few years bereft. After a time of great suffering, Alice met guru Swami Satchidananda and traveled to India with him. Following a visit there, she had a vision to open an ashram, and bought 50 acres of land in Agoura Hills, California, on the outskirts of Los Angeles. There a multi-ethnic and multi generational religious community grew up around her.

The high point of living in this very special and loving environment took shape on Sundays when Alice would lead the community in a musical ceremony, mixing both gospel and Indian chant, to create a music she wholly invented. It was something extraordinarily powerful.

In 2017, 10 years since she left her physical body, in what would have been her 80th year alive, Luaka Bop released a compilation of the spiritual music created for these ceremonies, and organized concerts that includes elements of these special services, trying to share the unique experience of hearing this music at the ashram.

Performing the music during these ceremonies are many of the original members of the ashram, along with added backing musicians and special guests.

Most importantly, the ceremonies are intended to be participatory—everyone is welcome to partake through singing, chanting, or clapping (or however else you feel comfortable). We have therefore included lyrics of the songs (bhajans) within this program.

The Ashram was a mix of cultures and ages. This group is composed of the singers still alive today; it will be led by Surya Botofasina on keys, who grew up at the Ashram and learned this music from Alice herself.

Furthermore, this group will be joined by special guests who have been inspired by Alice Coltrane. Performers

BAMbill Cover

Roy Lichtenstein was one of the most influential and innovative artists of the second half of the 20th century. He is preeminently identified with Pop Art, a movement he helped originate, and his first fully achieved paintings were based on imagery from comic strips and advertisements and rendered in a style mimicking the crude printing processes of newspaper reproduction. These paintings reinvigorated the American art scene and al- tered the history of modern art. Lichtenstein’s success was matched by his focus and energy, and after his initial triumph in the early 1960s, he went on to create an oeuvre of more than 5,000 paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, murals and other objects celebrated for their wit and invention. —Avis Berman

In 1983, Roy Lichtenstein designed BAM’s inaugural Next Wave Festival poster and journal cover.
