John Coltrane, Eric Dolphy – Evenings At The Village Gate (2xLP, Mono)

Mono Double LP!

Includes the only known non-studio recording of "Africa!"

In August of 1961, the John Coltrane Quintet played an engagement at the legendary Village Gate in Greenwich Village, New York. Ninety minutes of never-before-heard music from this group were recently discovered at the New York Public Library. In addition to some well-known Coltrane material ("Impressions"), 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," from the Africa/Brass album.
