I'm in for all Classic Quartet and late sextet recordings. I'd love to hear this:

Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, March 29, 1967

90784	Number Eight	Impulse! lost
90785	Number Seven	-
90786	Number Six	-
90787	Number Five	-
90788	Number Four	-
90789	Number Two

I wonder how many tapes made at Van Gelder's had backup copies.

Didn't impulse! have a fire at some point?

You mean the big Universal fire? There was definitely Coltrane material destroyed there

I imagine Ravi has been consulted re: any tapes he may have still unreleased.

It's time for Creation.

There were Atlantic masters of John Coltrane lost earlier, it was mentioned in the liner notes to The Heavyweight Champion box set.

The family had some of their own copies of material, which has allowed some unissued sessions to be released. But it is not clear if they have anything left or if that has been completely mined. I am curious about some of the last sessions, like the one Pim mentioned.
