Yeah I’m really curious how they sounded together. Thats Ayler with Tranes rhythm section right? With Ali on drums? That could definitely work.

Carlos Ward and Pharoah were part of Trane's group too, along with the Aylers. Shepp might've sat in also, but I don't have my session index handy (at a café).

If I'd been in the neighbourhood I think I would have stumped up $2.50 for that bill.

The best seats would have cost you $4.80! That's about $48 in 2026 dollars.  A great bargain for that bill.  But I have to say, the idea of listening to an extended version of the creepy "Om" by that entourage somewhat scares me, though I'd certainly be down for the 35 minute "My Favorite Things".

Strong chance that a live "Om" sounds nothing like the album version right? Is it correct to say Trane hated how that session came out and didn't want it released while he was alive? That's what I thought I read a while back.

It was hi acid album 

Not sure how "creepy" it is, whatever that means,?

Free the Tiberi tapes!!!

I know much of that music has circulated over the years, but I would love to have most or all of it pulled together, cleaned up, annotated, and put out in box-set form. That's my Coltrane holy grail. I'd also be happily on board for any expanded release of the Half Note recordings.

I'd still like a Bootleg Series release from the so_called Electric Jungle period.

Hear hear! Seconded! Etc!
