This album, released in 1980, features recordings from John Coltrane's 1962 European tour with his classic quartet consisting of McCoy Tyner (piano), Jimmy Garrison (bass), and Elvin Jones (drums). The recordings include studio and live sessions from the tour when Coltrane, undoubtedly a jazz giant who transitioned from sheets of sound to spiritual free jazz, was at the peak of his career. Tracks like A2 showcase extended saxophone solos, while A3 presents historic classics performed with a different approach compared to other recordings. Track B1 unfolds a session lasting over 16 minutes. These recordings capture Coltrane and his quartet during one of the most vibrant periods of their careers.
