new old stock
from 1963
soon to be released
original masters were thought to be destroyed. seems Coltrane's ex had a copy of it. only recently identified
I heard about this a few months ago and managed to get my hands on a reviewer's copy of the release, no digital processing, a lot of tape hiss, plain white cover, with all composition credits given to John Coltrane. However, after listening repeatedly, and then comparing to recordings with in the two prior years by both Coltrane and McCoy Tyner, that actual composition credit for much of this set belongs to Tyner. Tyner shaped much of modern jazz, and he certainly shaped Coltrane, as his muse. In no way does this lessen Coltrane's work here or his legacy, but I can't imagine Coltrane'a composition progress and exploration without Tyner.
