John Coltrane, Tenor & Soprano Saxophone
Eric Dolphy, Alto Saxophone, Flute (tracks 1 & 2)
McCoy Tyner, Piano
Jimmy Garrison, Bass
Elvin Jones, Drums

recorded live at Liederhalle Stuttgart, 1961 (tracks 1&2), November 1963 (tracks 3-5)



1. Everytime We Say Goodbye (Cole Porter)

2. My Favourite Things (Richard Rodgers)

3. The Promise (John Coltrane)

4. Mr. P.C. (John Coltrane)

5. I want to talk about you (Billy Eckstine) (fade out)

Coltrane formed his "classic" quartet in 1960, the following year marked his move from Atlantic to Impulse! by the release of "Africa Brass" and "Live at the Village Vanguard". Here I present two rare recordings done in Stuttgart by German Southwest Radio Station. While playing mostly standards in 1961 (together with Eric Dolphy), in 1963 the quartet played its own tunes.

I'm always happy when I come across new (for me) live Coltane. On this one, the playing is sufficiently unique, and truly beautiful. Thanx so very much!

Thanks for the fix. Live Trane seems to be rare, unlike some other jazz artists from the 1960's. Once again, thanks for the great music.
