[problactive]

When I want to travel to the ends of the earth I listen to John when I need to leave the planet...I listen to Alice.

[grumpycroissant]

I love watching it. It's not like watching someone playing musical instrument, more like watching a mother brushing her daughter's hair. I find it comforting

[seenamoon]

So childlike. Her expressions...the way she plays...it's as if she's discovering and rediscovering herself over and over again. Absolutely fantastic

[shivanis]

Oh how I long to dance across breeze the way that spirit soars through Alice Coltrane's strings.

[MissKia]

She doesn’t just play her harp, she speaks through it

[SuiteVII]

It must’ve FELT AMAZING being in that room!!!

[JazzFlop]

You can just see the genius in her face.

[SuiteVII]

Y’all gotta read her book “Monument Eternal”, Alice is on a whole nother plane of existence 🙌🏿

[JsRf]

this always brings tears to me. this sounds like a prayer we're invited to listen to.

[robbyadams]

If there is a heaven, Alice Coltrane will be the angel at the gate playing the harp on your way in.

[hazelhalle]

I want someone to love me as much as a harp loves to see Alice coming 🥺

[jdify]

hands that have caressed a thousand strings....hands that find and give millions of sounds

[zentimes]

I feel the same peace and transportation listening to Alice as I do when I listen to Kora music

[daffyduck]

Wow! I didn’t realise she’d played outside her Ashram after the late 70’s until just before she died. Wonderful!

[lovenikolatesla]

This is one of those videos i come back to listen to over and over and over again. This is nothing short of a masterpiece she was another gift from the universe 🙏🏼

[PTO_Finesse]

This soothes the soul even the background noises the person taking over all blends in like it was part of the composition.

[ShadowMaster]

Total revelation discovering this musician by chance - I love the harp, and it is great to hear outside of its usual orchestral context. Just look at those hands, man!

[johnthorpe]

UNBELIEVABLE - IF HEARING SOMETHING NEW COULD BE SO OLDEN

[lovenikolatesla]

Musically gifted she plays so fluidly also thanks to her gifted husband and after we're all gone someone in the distant future will be listening to this in admiration too 🎶💜

[manubande]

Definitely one of my favoured musicians ! So inspirational !
