When most people think of jazz they don’t think of the harp. But in the 1960s and 70s Alice Coltrane recorded two dozen albums of jazz with the harp in a central role.
Later in her life Coltrane became a Hindu swami at the Sai Anantam Ashram in Malibu, California, where she continued to perform (albeit not jazz, and without her harp) until her death. The ashram closed a decade later, and subsequently burned down in the Woolsey Fire.
