Experience one of jazz history's most electrifying live performances — John Coltrane's 1961 Newport Jazz Festival set, captured in full and released here for the very first time. With a rare quintet lineup featuring two basses, Coltrane's playing is raw, exploratory, and utterly transcendent.
As a bonus, this release includes a complete second performance recorded in Helsinki, Finland later that same year — now featuring Eric Dolphy on alto sax and flute, and presented in the correct pitch for the first time ever.
