Alice Coltrane (1937–2007) was an American jazz musician renowned for her work as a pianist, organist, harpist, and composer. After studying classical music and jazz, she joined her husband, saxophonist John Coltrane, in his band in 1966, contributing to his later works. Following his death in 1967, Alice embarked on a solo career, releasing numerous albums that blended jazz with spiritual and devotional elements, reflecting her deep interest in Hinduism. She was one of the few harpists in jazz history and a pioneer of spiritual jazz, influencing generations of musicians.

He gained international fame with ballets like "The Firebird" (1910), "Petrushka" (1911), and "The Rite of Spring" (1913), the latter causing a sensation for its avant-garde approach. Stravinsky's style evolved through various phases, including Russian folk influences, neoclassicism, and serialism. His compositions are celebrated for their rhythmic complexity and orchestral mastery, solidifying his status as a pivotal figure in modernist music.
