• Previously unissued : one of John Coltrane’s last preserved live performances ever. Coltrane died eight months after this performance, at the age of 40 on July 17, 1967, from liver cancer.

• Taped in Philadelphia with excellent sound quality, this set presents Coltrane playing probably the freest version of “Naima”, along with readings of two more of his compositions: “Crescent” and a powerful version of “Leo”.

• After this set, taped on November 11, 1966, ‘Trane would record a number of sessions for Impulse (which would mostly be issued posthumously), and would be recorded privately at the Village Theatre in New York on December 26 (this performance is mentioned in discographies as circulating among collectors, but it has never been released; the audio quality is unknown), and finally at New York’s Olatunji Center, on April 23, 1967. The latter would prove to be his final live performance, which ‘Trane gave despite feeling extreme pain.

• Personnel : John Coltrane tenor sax; Pharoah Sanders tenor sax; Alice Coltrane piano; Jimmy Garrison bass; Rashied Ali drums.

• Total Time: 63:46 - 3 tracks (all never before released).

Reviews

Jazz Journal - Barry McRae

In sum, Coltrane at his very best, and the added presence of Dolphy on the German concerts is a bonus.
