Infinity (John Coltrane album)

Reviewer Stewart Smith wrote "By pairing her own music with her husband's, Alice announced her intention to continue on the visionary path they had mapped out together...The results are fascinating and rather gorgeous, offering a glimpse where John might have gone next had he lived." AllMusic reviewer Brian Olewnick wrote: "the ultimate result is an unusual and oddly attractive work. The juxtaposition of the fiery, very free playing of late Coltrane against the dreamy, consonant strings is seductively appealing and one might even make the argument that, given the increasing mystical proclivities of his later years and the presence of Eastern instruments in his ensemble, he may well have approved... Whatever problems the Coltrane ideologue may have with his wife's embroideries, Infinity still deserves a place in his/her collection." ==Track listing==
