Pharoah Sanders is an American jazz saxophonist. A member of John Coltrane's groups of the mid-1960s, Sanders is known for his overblowing, harmonic, and multiphonic techniques on the saxophone, as well as his use of "sheets of sound".

Since most (if not all) of the master tapes from legit Impulse! recording sessions have been released, the label continued on with a "digging in the crates" approach to expanding their John Coltrane catalog. Subsequently, they came across this recording that 'Trane arranged to record without the assistance (or interference) of Impulse!. Olatunji Concert: The Last Live Recording documents a live performance on April 23, 1967, one of the last times Coltrane would appear on stage, as he passed three months later. Strictly as a document, this is a rich and telling recording. It demonstrates his sonic blast free jazz direction that was becoming more aggressive and out of bounds; It portrays what could have been one of the most dynamically stellar groups of the mid-1960s avant jazz scene with Pharoah Sanders (who, in some ways, steals the show), Alice Coltrane, Rashied Ali, and Jimmy Garrison totally ripping it up; it also gives the average collector a taste of what the maniacal collector goes out of their way to find, as the sound quality is on the level of a sub-par bootleg. Don't expect to hear Bob Theil's warm production or one of Rudy Van Gelder's pristine live recordings ?la Live at the Village Vanguard. Instead the equalization is uneven, and there are some parts where the tape drops out. Besides that though, this is essential for seasoned Coltrane listeners . ~ Sam Samuelson

Released in 2008 as a strong jazz entry in the affordable
Starbucks/Rhino Special Products Opus Collection series, "A Man
Called Trane" is a worthwhile and accessible introduction to the
powerfully moving music of saxophonist John Coltrane. Drawing upon
the Blue Note, Atlantic, and Impulse catalogs, this ten-track
sampler spans a timeline from September 1957 to December 1964,
revisiting his live performances at the Village Vanguard and the
Newport Jazz Festival, dipping into the albums Blue Train,
Coltrane's Sound, Giant Steps, Coltrane Plays the Blues, and My
Favorite Things, and reaching a logical conclusion with the
profoundly beautiful opening movement of his extended prayer and
magnum opus "A Love Supreme." While literally dozens of equally
fine Coltrane collections exist, "A Man Called Trane" is a welcome
addition to the discography. Hopefully the producers accomplished
their goal which was clearly to expose as many people as possible
to the majesty of Trane's spiritually informed and often
restlessly ambitious artistry. This has been achieved for decades,
however, by A Love Supreme in its entirety, as an album unto
itself, the way it was originally conceived and presented to the
world, which is still perhaps the ideal choice for introducing
people to Coltrane's music. Indeed the truncation of his soul-
baring masterpiece "A Love Supreme" is the only conceivable
drawback to this otherwise excellent collection. We get the
"Acknowledgement" but no "Resolution," no "Pursuance," and no
"Psalm." ~ arwulf arwulf, All Music Guide

Live in Japan is a four-disc box set by American saxophonist John Coltrane and his last group, featuring the quintet of Coltrane, his wife/pianist Alice, saxophonist/bass clarinetist Pharoah Sanders, bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Rashied Ali. The 4-CD set compiles all the music issued as three albums in the seventies by Impulse!; Concert In Japan (1973, US 2-LP, electronically processed for compatible quadrophonic/stereo), Coltrane In Japan (1974, Japan 3-LP (side six is blank), mono) and Second Night In Tokyo (1976, Japan 3-LP (side six contains an interview, mono). (Some of this material was also reissued as two 2-LP sets in 1980 by MCA under the titles Coltrane In Tokyo Vol. 1 and Coltrane In Tokyo Vol. 2) The first CD issues were by Impulse! Japan as two 2-CD sets: Live In Japan Vol. 1 (same as "Coltrane In Japan") and Live In Japan Vol. 2 (same as "Second Night In Tokyo"). The US 4-CD edition includes both of these volumes, with identical mastering from the original mono tapes. The side six interview from "Second Night In Tokyo" has never been reissued on any CD edition.
Recorded live on Coltrane's only Japanese tour in July 1966 at two Tokyo venues, Shinjuku Kosei Nenkin Hall and Sankei Hall, it is taken from mono radio broadcasts. It is notable for the presence of alto saxophone by both Coltrane and Sanders; neither man often recorded with the instrument.
By this point in his career, Coltrane was firmly enmeshed into the avant-garde style of jazz. Sanders, who was an innovator of free jazz, influenced Coltrane's playing through his technical use of overblowing and fierce vibrations of the reed, and this record is remarkable for its use of multiphonics, overtones, and other extended musical techniques from both players.

Impressions is a hodgepodge of memorable John Coltrane performances from the 1961-1963 period. "India" and "Impressions" are taken from Trane's famous November 1961 engagement at the Village Vanguard; bass clarinetist Eric Dolphyis heard on the former while the latter features a marathon solo from Coltrane on tenor. Also included on this set are 1962's "Up 'Gainst the Wall" and the classic of the album, 1963's "After the Rain." [This edition of Impressions includes the ten-plus-minute bonus track "Dear Old Stockholm."

在B.B.King的Blues Club举办的本届爵士音乐奖的颁奖礼中，由蓝音符公司(Blue Note)发行，波普钢琴大师赛罗尼斯·蒙克(Thelonious Monk)与英年早逝的萨克斯演奏大师约翰·柯川(John Coltrane)合作的现场专辑《Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall》被评为今年的“年度最佳专辑”。这张专辑是Thelonious Monk四重奏和John Coltrane在1957年合作演出的现场。两人的合作虽然十分短暂，但对爵士音乐的发展却有着重要的历史意义。这张专辑后面还有段故事的...
事情是这样的，1957年11月29日，钢琴大师Thelonious Monk和萨克斯风之王John Coltrane等四位音乐家，在卡内基音乐厅举办了一场演奏会。这场演奏会当时并没有唱片公司作录音发行，不过当时专门对全美播报新闻信息的单位，「美国之声」〈Voice of America〉，利用他们的广播节目时段作了这场音乐会的录音实况转播。播完后，转播带贴上标签就丢进或许是库房什么的地方了。后来，包括这张转播带连同其它许多数据，再一同被移放到位于华盛顿特区的「国会图书馆」〈Library of Congress〉永久保存，大家也就忘了里头有这么一张录音。有趣的是，「国会图书馆」根据卷标为所有录音数据分类，但这张卡内基音乐厅录音的卷标却标示的不清不楚。也就是说，万一哪天有人想起来Thelonious Monk与John Coltrane的音乐会其实是有录音纪录的，想挖出来可是比登天还难。这时候，运气就显的格外重要了。公元2005年1月，「国会图书馆」里一位叫做Larry Applebaum的管理员，他本身对爵士乐也极有研究，在作例行的数字转文件作业〈将老录音转成数字音源延长保存寿命〉时，发现了一张老带子上面注明着：「11/29/57 Carnegie Jazz Concert」，转档时一听可不得了，原来这场传说中的录音确实存在！接下来的事就可以想象了，消息传出去，各大唱片公司开始竞标这场音乐会的发行权，而最后则是由Thelonious Monk之子T.S. Monk与Blue Note Records负责发行。消失的录音重见天日。对爵士迷来说，这个大发现就好比公元1947年，三名少年在死海之滨无意发现的圣经古卷那般重要。这场录音毫无疑问的将是本世纪爵士乐的最大惊奇，终将列名千古。

The album was recorded at Van Gelder Studio with the Classic Quartet in between the Crescent and A Love Supreme sessions for the film Le chat dans le sac.Director Gilles Groulx was friends with Jimmy Garrison and he used that relationship to request songs for Coltrane's quartet to record.Groulx flew to the United States to attend the recording sessions for Coltrane's only soundtrack work and Coltrane recorded it without informing his record label. After three hours in the studio, Groulx took the master tapes with him to Canada.When the director ended up shelving most of the music, it went unreleased until 2019, when Coltrane's long-time label Impulse! Records decided to release it, with the original composition "Blue World" being released on August 16, 2019 along with the announcement of the album.
The recordings were stored away until the early 21st century, when an archivist from the National Film Board of Canada was tasked with assembling Groulx's work; the government agency negotiated with Impulse! to have the album released. This album comes a year after the successful release of Both Directions at Once: The Lost Album, also from Impulse!, capturing a Classic Quartet session from 1963 and is part of a trend of unreleased albums from 1950s and 1960s jazz greats released in the 2010s.
