These concerts released partially in:
Immortal Concerts: Juan les Pins Jazz Festival, Antibes, July 26-27, 1965 (includes “A Love Supreme” version recorded in July 26 of 1965)
A Love Supreme [Live Antibes 1965] (includes “A Love Supreme” version recorded in July 26 of 1965)

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).

OK, how about some more of the John Coltrane Quartet, augmented with a brass section arranged by Eric Dolphy and McCoy Tyner, representing wildlife? Dense, layered, modal, gorgeous. Listen to "Africa" (1961):

and more!, if you check Wikipedia.

McCoy Tyner - "Extensions" (1972)

This #TonePoet release is stunning. Super quiet background, dynamic, channel separation that really jumps out at you. It actually sounds better than my original pressing, which is no small feat.
