• All tracks previously unissued - these are Trane’s first recordings ever with McCoy Tyner, as well as his first preserved notes on soprano sax.

• John Coltrane formed his first quartet as a leader at New York’s Jazz Gallery in May 1960. After a short trial with Steve Kuhn on piano, McCoy Tyner joined the group. Coltrane also began playing the soprano saxophone during his tenure at the Jazz Gallery.

• The set presented here was taped by an audience member during that gig. It contains versions of tunes rarely recorded by Coltrane, like “Liberia”, “The Night Has a Thousand Eyes”, “Summertime” and “But Not For Me”, as well as Trane’s first issued version of “I Can’t Get Started”, a song he never taped in the studio, which he performs here on soprano.

• John Coltrane, tenor & soprano sax; McCoy Tyner, piano; Steve Davis, bass; Pete La Roca, drums - at The Jazz Gallery, Greenwich Village, New York, June 27, 1960.

• 2 CD Set - Total Time: 85:23 mins. - 7 tracks - Includes 8-page booklet.
