John Coltrane – My Favorite Things: Coltrane at Newport (CD)
Product Details
Newport gave Coltrane a stage where his most exploratory impulses could breathe in real time, in front of an audience that felt the temperature change when he locked in. These performances capture the classic quartet at a pivotal moment, with McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones pushing the music into territory that still sounds like the edge of something.
On the 40th anniversary of the death of the great John Coltrane, we celebrate his life, with a collection of two blazing Newport Jazz Festival performances recorded for Impulse. While both sets have previously been issued on various separate releases, they're now together for the first time with the addition of newly discovered, previously unreleased material.
