Why hasn’t her music been appreciated before? Well, it’s kind of like John Lennon and Yoko Ono: “Her talents weren’t hugely appreciated in the 1960s. This was partly due to the man with whom she fell in love in 1963. John Coltrane became her husband two years later and asked her to step into his band – which coincided with the saxophonist’s move into freer, more atonal music.”
