Limited Edition. The rare 1962 Copenhagen concert by the classic John Coltrane quartet in it's entirety (not to be confused with the 1961 and 1963 performances). Includes inside booklet. This performance by the Coltrane Quartet is one of the most blistering ever released. Even by the high performance standards this band had set, this concert is extraordinary. I expected great music but this..Coltrane literally tears into the music with both ferocity and grace, it's almost unbearable. I was listening to this in my car and almost had an accident! The Danish audience is very receptive and apppreciative. I would recommend this set with rabid urgency.

Although the sound quality is very good throughout, some small tape imperfections are noticeable, especially during “Impressions”. Every effort has been made to restore them using advanced technologies, but a few couldn’t be corrected without affecting this important music.
