I Talk with the Spirits
after Rahsaan Roland Kirk
The hand of John Coltrane seems never to have stopped guiding his family, says Leonard Feather, quoting Alice McLeod Coltrane in the Los Angeles Times, July 25, 1982:
Just two or three years ago there was a definite conver- stion with him, while I was in a meditative state, on the subject of life after death, & living
in the particular existence that he's in. I noticed that he did have an instrument it looked something like a soprano, but much longer
& larger & he was quite absorbed with looking at its structure. I asked him, Do you think about Earth life? He said, not much. I said,
Do you consider that you might prefer living on Earth as opposed to your life in the afterlife? & he said, No,
I wouldn t prefer living on Earth. So I said, Really? Not with all the acceptance, the recognition, the fame? His reply was, I prefer
the Spirit life to the way life is on Earth
Detroit August 1982
