Evenings At The Village Gate - John Coltrane with Eric Dolphy: Exclusive Orange Vinyl 2LP

In August 1961, the John Coltrane Quintet performed at the iconic Village Gate in Greenwich Village, New York. At that time, Coltrane’s Classic Quartet was still taking shape, and a rising star, multi - instrumentalist Eric Dolphy, joined the group. Recently, 90 minutes of never - before - heard music from this performance were found at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. It offers a look at a short - lived yet powerful musical bond. The album features well - known Coltrane pieces like “My Favorite Things” and “Impressions”. There's also a stunning bass clarinet performance by Dolphy on “When Lights Are Low” and the only non - studio recording of Coltrane’s “Africa” from the Africa/Brass album. This recording is a special snapshot of Coltrane in the summer of 1961, when his signature live sound was starting to develop and he was exploring African influences. The rare recording of “Africa” shows his broad musical vision at that time.

Tracklist:
1. My Favorite Things
2. When Lights Are Low
3. Impressions
4. Greensleeves
5. Africa
