She is very close mic’d when she is recorded. This emphasizes fricatives, glottals, etc. Many of her fans enjoy this sense of intimacy. I find all of her recordings a bit much.

1971 goodness. Rashied Ali and Jimmy Garrison driving Alice. Another, among many great Alice Coltrane recording.

I completely agree. Alice is a giant ! Her modality and sense of space, time and tone are beautiful.

With all due respect to you I don’t get her. At best she is a minor player in the world of jazz.

I do not think of Diana Krall as a jazz performer. She is adult contemporary.
