LOS ANGELES (AFP) - Alice Coltrane, the jazz musician who was closely linked with the music of her late husband, legendary US saxophonist John Coltrane, has died at the age of 69, a newspaper reported.

Citing a spokesman for the family, The Los Angeles Times newspaper said Coltrane died Friday at West Hills Hospital and Medical Center in West Hills of respiratory failure.

She had been in frail health for some time.

Though known for her contributions to jazz and early New Age music, Coltrane, a convert to Hinduism, was also a significant spiritual leader and founded the Vedantic Center, a spiritual commune now located in the Los Angeles area, the paper said.

For much of the last nearly 40 years, Alice Coltrane was also the keeper of her husband's musical legacy, managing his archive and estate.

Her husband, one of the pivotal figures in the history of jazz, died of liver disease on July 17, 1967, at the age of 40....cont'd
