Contrary to its title, the album offers 3 live recordings from the stage of midtown Manhattan’s Birdland jazz club on October 8, 1963 alongside 2 studio recordings made at Rudy Van Gelder’s Englewood Cliffs studio the following month – all featuring Coltrane with his legendary quartet of pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Elvin Jones. Highlights include the original “Alabama,” written in response to the 1963 Birmingham church bombing, and a live read of Mongo Santamaria’s “Afro Blue” with Coltrane offering a commanding lead on soprano saxophone. Verve Acoustic Sounds Series is mastered from the original analog tapes by Matthew Lutthans, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings (QRP) and packaged in high-quality tip-on gatefold jackets.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pt-2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003estreet date 10\/23\/2026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UMG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45205741469896,"sku":"199957085496","price":57.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/95_75ab4b66-2ab4-4efe-80aa-8698917b486a.webp?v=1788491395","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/en-ca\/products\/199957085496","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
