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.
