"John and Alice" is a video portrait of two pioneers in astral jazz: John and Alice Coltrane.

Doubling as an album, one side is dedicated to each artist.

It reflects on the couple's spiritual journey and their music's ability to transport its listeners. The differences in the two sides hint at their paths being distinct yet overlapping.

John was a deeply virtuosic saxophonist and his approach to spiritual jazz came through his ability to play with an impassioned complexity, as if there were a fire in his belly.

Many critics came to identify spiritual jazz with this intensity and often disregarded the more inward and meditative explorations in Alice's music, and so they ignored what was to become the opening of an entire universe of astral jazz that went far beyond the music of her late husband.

The portrait itself creates a tapestry of smooth minimalism, sampling voice and harp by Alice Coltrane and saxophone by Warne Marsh.

Visually, it draws on road novels, stream-of-consciousness and Americana while being filmed in several countries, including Italy, France, Serbia, Germany, Norway and the United States.

Released on December 9th, 2023 by Care Of Editions: on the anniversary of "A Love Supreme," which was recorded by John Coltrane on December 9th, 1964.
