This recording captures so much of what makes John Coltrane arguably the greatest innovator / composer / performer jazz has ever produced. In April 1961 Coltrane assembled a 17-piece orchestra and began recording what would become known as ‘Africa/Brass‘. Among the jazz luminaries contributing to these landmark sessions are: Booker Little (trumpet), Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Julian Priester (trombone), Eric Dolphy (alto sax/bass clarinet), McCoy Tyner (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Elvin Jones (drums).
