In the organizer's words:

Family ties

Alice Coltrane is one of the greats of jazz: as a pianist, she played alongside her husband, the saxophonist John Coltrane, and was the first important jazz harpist to bring the dazzling timbres of this instrument into the music. After her husband's death in 1967, she honored his musical legacy for 40 years and continued her own career with jazz greats such as saxophonist Pharoah Sanders and guitarist Carlos Santana. Alice Coltrane would have been 90 years old in 2027. In 2004, Alice Coltrane released her album "Translinear Light" - a true masterpiece and family project in one: in addition to her own compositions, it also includes pieces by her husband John Coltrane. It was produced by her son Ravi Coltrane - himself an internationally acclaimed jazz musician - who can also be heard on saxophone, as can his brother Oran. Ravi Coltrane pays tribute to this music, which is characterized by Alice Coltrane's deep spirituality, in the Great Hall of the Elbphilharmonie.
