Amusingly, after playing A Love Supreme (which had only been recorded with Rudy Van Gelder seven months before), the promoters requested that they play "more familiar material" the following nights.
If only they knew.
A bit more space here to say that Charly was able to reconstruct the full A Love Supreme, which takes up 3 sides of the 4LP set.

John Coltrane Quartet - France 1965: The Complete Concerts
This is going to be a Coltrane-heavy year, given his centenary, and RSD26 has a few releases to mark the occasion.
This 4LP set documents the two concerts the Quartet did in France during their week-lone stint in Europe.
This is well known for being the quartet's *only* live, full recording of A Love Supreme (reconstructed by Charly).

Blues for Dracula is the debut album by American jazz drummer Philly Joe Jones which was recorded in 1958 for the Riverside label.
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow described it as a "worthwhile but not overly essential release". It features Jones's vocal impersonation of Bela Lugosi. The album "became an instant classic thanks to the title track." - Wikipedia

Intents and Purposes is an album by American jazz trumpeter Bill Dixon, which was released in 1967 on RCA Victor. ..The album's title is an example of a Siamese twins idiomatic expression.
In his review for All About Jazz, Troy Collins states: "Intents And Purposes has long been revered as Bill Dixon's singular masterpiece...The reissue allows the record to finally take its rightful place alongside such masterpieces as Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz, John Coltrane's Ascension and Miles Davis' Bitches Brew." - Wikipedia

Ended Tuesday and welcomed Wednesday after my swim with Ballads a jazz album by John Coltrane released in January 1963 by Impulse! Records. It was recorded in December 1961 and 1962, and released with catalogue number A-32 (mono) and AS-32 (stereo). Critic Gene Lees stated that the quartet had never played the tunes before. "They arrived with music-store sheet music of the songs" and just before the recordings, they "would discuss each tune, write out copies of the changes they'd use, semi-rehearse for a half hour and then do it". Each piece was recorded in one take, except for "All or Nothing at All". In 2008, the album was a recipient of the Grammy Hall of Fame award. - Wikipedia

How his sound evolved!
Listen to "Dear Lord" (1965) by the John Coltrane Quartet. I first heard this on the LP "Transition." It forms the most gentle interlude between two hugely powerful compositions. I hope you can feel the restrained power and energy of this band.
