John Coltrane

2-CD DIGIPACK SET

These live recordings capture the classic John Coltrane Quartet at full strength in what would prove to be its last year of existence, The 1965 Half Note recordings, taken from late-night radio broadcasts and until now available only as inferior-quality bootlegs, have long had legendary status among aficionados - especially the extended performance of "One Down, One Up", regarded by many as one of Coltrane`s greatest recorded improvisations. Newly transferred from Coltrane´s personnel master tapes, these remarkable performances can at last be heard the fidelity they deserved.
