COLLECTORS 6-PANEL DIGIPAK SERIES WITH COMPREHENSIVE BOOKLET AND PHOTOS
Presented here are two classic John Coltrane live recordings made at the Birdland jazz club in the early 1960s. While the first three tracks feature the leader with his immortal quartet (featuring McCoy Tyner on piano, Jimmy Garrison on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums), on the last three the great Eric Dolphy is added to that group.
AllMusic: "This recording has brilliant versions of 'Afro Blue' and 'I Want to Talk About You'; the second half of the latter features Coltrane on unaccompanied tenor tearing into the piece but never losing sight of the fact that it is a beautiful ballad." (Scott Yanow)
JOHN COLTRANE - tenor & soprano sax; ERIC DOLPHY - alto sax, flute & bass clarinet, McCOY TYNER - piano, JIMMY GARRISON - bass, ELVIN JONES - drums
All tracks recorded live at Birdland, New York.
