We’re partnering with Impulse! Records to bring you the first listen of a brand new live album culled from recordings of John Coltrane and Eric Dolphy’s month-long run at the Village Gate in 1961.
"It's very hard to label or encapsulate, but it's just so ferociously full of life force, the musicians know how good this is, and they know how exciting it is — but beyond that, they don't really know much, and it hasn't been called anything yet. There's a lot of the unknown here."
-Ben Ratliff, author of Coltrane: The Story of a Sound
We’ll be spinning this exciting new album at 8p, followed by some classic Coltrane on Impulse! from the same era and we’ll have a couple copies of “Evenings at the Village Gate” on-hand to give away during the listening session.
