• John Coltrane’s last performance ever at the Newport Jazz Festival, on July 2, 1966. This is the first time that this material is issued on any format.

• Coltrane performed three extended pieces including a version of “My Favorite Things” that is much freer than ever; a beautiful reading of his ballad “Welcome” and a powerful version of “Leo”, a song he had taped in the studio six months earlier. He was moving further and further into free jazz.

• Coltrane was too ill to perform at the Newport Festival the following year, and he died shortly after at the age of 40 on July 17, 1967. He had played at Newport in 1958, 1961, 1963 & 1965.

• Personnel : John Coltrane, soprano sax, tenor sax & percussion; Pharoah Sanders, tenor sax, piccolo & percussion; Alice Coltrane, piano; Jimmy Garrison, bass; Rashied Ali, drums - Live at the Newport Jazz Festival, Newport, Rhode Island, July 2, 1966.

• Total Time: 56:04 - 3 tracks - Includes 12-page booklet.
