· An amazing recently discovered complete performance by the John Coltrane Quintet featuring Eric Dolphy, recorded in Helsinki on November 22 1961 - all tracks are previously unissued on any format.
· Coltrane & Dolphy are on superb, inventive form - backed by a remarkable rhythm section : McCoy Tyner, Reggie Workman & Elvin Jones - with material including the Coltrane classics Impressions & Blue Train, as well as a 20-minute plus version of My Favourite Things.
· As a bonus to this newly found performance, there is also a true Coltrane rarity : the April 1, 1960 Düsseldorf concert - which should have marked Coltrane’s last gig with Miles Davis - but Miles was unable to attend the date for unknown reasons, and so ‘Trane performed alone backed by Miles’ outstanding rhythm section : Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Jimmy Cobb on drums. Total Time: 63:21
