The full-length track that was exclusive to that NPR story is now live on YouTube too…

 

Big picture, this sounds like about  another day at the office.

Hell of an office, though.

Pre-ordered.

Just pre-ordered a copy.

Pre-ordered. 

Full quote.

Only non-studio recording of Africa and it's 23 mins. That's enough for me to make this an order.

I hadn't read that, seals it for me too

Sorry, but no it wasn't. Not that I see here. Just the first line.

People could easily see what you had originally said. Quoting part of a person’s quote is a common practice. I’ve seen it here, Hoffman and bunch of other places but if you felt it was taken out of context to create an erroneous impression, my apologies. 

[JSngry]

Except your partial quote implied that we were "at" the same place as far as pre-ordering.

In fact we are "at" totally opposite places in that regard.

Apology accepted, if that important and fundamental distinction is understood. 

[Teasing the Korean]

Given that Coltrane died when I was a little kid, I never thought I would be buying so many new John Coltrane albums.  That has obviously changed in recent years, hasn't it?

Not at all but not worth further discussion. 

[JSngry]

In this case (and whenever applicable) I determine my own worth.

You created a misleading blurb of my opinion in service of your own personal opinion - and now apparently have no concern about having done so.

As to the worth of the character of all THAT, I too make my own determination. 

Simple as that. 

[Stompin at the Savoy]

Getting back to Coltrane and Dolphy, after listening to the sample I pulled up the 61 VV 4-disk set and listened, which I hadn't done for years.  Some pretty great stuff in there (obviously) but I notice it's so high energy for the most part that I can only take a disk or so at a time.  Over-stimulation after a point for me.  I will buy this new release.  It's Coltrane and Dolphy!  Tyner, Jones, Garrison!  Heck yeah!

Whatever.  A new person for the ignore list.

There ya go! 

[Milestones]

What good fortune that so much great material by Coltrane has been dug out of the archives in this century.  Here we are more than 50 years past Coltrane's death (and nearly 60 since Dolphy's)--and we are about to receive this material!   I am a fan of both artists and eagerly await this release.

Actually, if I read this right it's Workman and not Garrison. Workman is on some of the VV stuff too but this one is all him.

I'm inclined to grab this one but it seemed to me like the sample track sounds like they're in a hallway...

EVENINGS AT THE VILLAGE GATE: JOHN COLTRANE WITH ERIC DOLPHY   Never-Before-Heard Recording Of Two Of The Most Iconic Forces In Jazz Set To Debut July 14 Features Live Recordings From Coltrane’s 1961 Residency At The Village Gate “Impressions” Available Now   June 1, 2023 (New York, NY) In the summer of 1961, John Coltrane headlined at the celebrated music venue, the Village Gate. With a lineup of musicians that included McCoy Tyner, Reggie Workman, Elvin Jones, and the fiery playing of Eric Dolphy, Evenings at the Village Gate captures the creative and transformative spirit that sprang from the pairing of Coltrane and Dolphy, and the evolving short-lived quintet.   Evenings At The Village Gate: John Coltrane With Eric Dolphy will be released globally July 14 on Impulse! Records/UMe. The first track from the fabled performances, “Impressions,” is available now and you can listen to the track and pre-order the album here.  You can also order a special edition orange vinyl variant here.   Recently discovered at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, the recordings on this album—recorded by engineer Rich Alderson as part of a test of the club's new sound system—were seemingly lost, then found, and then disappeared again into the vast sound archives of the Library for the Performing Arts.  The tapes’ circuitous route over several decades seemingly mirrors Coltrane's ongoing musical journey in August of 1961.   Recorded during Coltrane’s month-long Village Gate residency with his quintet (often with a revolving cast of musicians), the album consists of eighty minutes of never-before-heard music. It offers a glimpse into a powerful musical partnership that ended much too soon – Dolphy sadly passed away three years later and this recording is the only live recording of their legendary Village Gate performances. In addition to some well-known Coltrane material (“My Favorite Things,” “Impressions,” and “Greensleeves”), there is a breathtaking feature for Dolphy’s bass clarinet on “When Lights Are Low,” and the only known non-studio recording of Coltrane’s composition “Africa,” that includes bassist Art Davis. Photo Credit: Herb Snitzer Download Hi – Res Image Here   Evenings at the Village Gate showcases the poignant, brief relationship between John Coltrane and Eric Dolphy. Coltrane first met Dolphy in Los Angeles and, when Dolphy moved to New York in 1959, they renewed their friendship. They recognized many of the same analytic and driving qualities in each other. Both came of age at the height of bebop, both were deeply interested in harmony and emotive expression and both employed vocal-like effects and a wide emotional range in their playing. The combination of their signature sounds—Dolphy's distinctively bright, sharply-stated voice set against Coltrane's darker, slurred phrasing—is a unique and evocative feature of their historic run at the Village Gate.   Accompanying the release are essays from two participants from those evenings at the Village Gate, bassist Reggie Workman and recording engineer Rich Alderson. Additionally, historian Ashley Kahn and jazz luminaries Branford Marsalis and Lakecia Benjamin offer valuable and insightful essays on the recordings.   Evenings At The Village Gate: John Coltrane With Eric Dolphy Tracklist: 1) My Favorite Things (15:45) 2) When Lights Are Low (15:10) 3) Impressions (10:00) 4) Greensleeves (16:15) 5) Africa (22:41)     Impulse!  For sixty years, Impulse Records has stood as a label of musical integrity and lasting cultural significance. Known as the “house that Trane built” in honor of its best-selling artist John Coltrane, the label has consistently released music that is exciting, fearlessly experimental and often spiritual in its resonance to listeners. Sonny Rollins, Quincy Jones, Max Roach, Ray Charles, Alice Coltrane, Keith Jarrett, Charles Mingus, Sun Ra, and Pharoah Sanders are but a few of the legendary musicians who helped define the label's sound and message. To this day, Impulse continues to proudly wear its distinctive orange-and-black color scheme, and is home to a new vanguard of creative musicians including Brandee Younger, Pino Palladino and Shabaka Hutchings’s pioneering groups Sons of Kemet, Shabaka & the Ancestors, and The Comet Is Coming. http://www.impulserecords.com/

Got the SHM CD version from Yamano Music in Ginza today. A birthday gift to myself. They had plenty of stock there. Can’t listen to it until my return to Australia, I am afraid.

[jazzbo]

My SHM-SACD should arrive from cdJapan today. I'm expecting this will be great.

If I were flying back to Australia (or to anywhere else), I would keep the SHM CD in my pocket next to my passport.

I have a Xanadu Monk LP that this engineer recorded the same way. I wonder if Monk's estate sued over its release, or was it authorized prior to release?
