Editor's info:
The rare 1962 Copenhagen concert by the classic John Coltrane quartet in its entirety (not to be confused with the 1961 and 1963 performances). Among the many highlights of this performance, which presents excellent sound quality, is a long and delightful version of "Bye Bye Blackbird", a tune he rarely recorded after his time with Miles Davis.
Includes inside booklet.
By 1962, the John Coltrane Quartet with McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones was a solid musical unit. For a while, in 1961 and early 1962, the quartet evolved into a quintet with the addition of reedman Eric Dolphy. This quintet (with Reggie Workman on bass) had visited Europe in November 1961. In mid-November 1962, the quartet (minus Dolphy; with Garrison on bass) began a new European tour. Fortunately, many concerts from that tour were recorded by local radio stations and devoted fans. Performances by Coltrane in Paris (November 17, two concerts), Stockholm (November 19; two concerts), Helsinki (November 20), Copenhagen (November 22), Graz (November 28), and Milano (December 2)exist (with varying degree of sound quality) and have been issued, at least partially on LP and/or CD form. This double set contains the complete Copenhagen concert, which only appeared before in its entirety on a long out of print edition more than a decade ago. Coltrane hadn't been playing Ray Henderson and Mort Dixon's composition "Bye Bye Blackbird" since his time with the Miles Davis Quintet in the mid-fifties, but he revived the tune with his quartet for this European tour. He stopped playing it after March 1963 (at least he would never record it again).
