Evenings At The Village Gate: John Coltrane With Eric Dolphy will be released on July 14. Hear a track from it, “Impressions”, below:
Recently discovered in the sound archives of The New York Public Library For The Performing Arts, the recordings were made by engineer Rich Alderson as part of a test of The Village Gate’s new soundsystem in August 1961. They capture Coltrane’s month-long residency at the club with his quintet of McCoy Tyner, Reggie Workman, Elvin Jones and Eric Dolphy. All 80 minutes of music on the album are previously unreleased.
