I'm confused, isn't "Blue World" just a slower take of Out of this World?

John Coltrane With Eric Dolphy - Evenings At The Village Gate
^^^
this newish dug up from the Impulse archives release is really good, it's a rough single mic recording but the music really cuts through and features some amazing playing from Dolphy.

I picked up one of the European tour box sets from FOPP a few years ago. Presumably same line up though not sure about bassist. Cost I think £15 back then and there was a 2nd volume from the next year, or was it previous. It's 61 and 62 anyway. Haven't looked at it in a while but I think it was pretty great.The box set of Village Vanguard sets was quite good too
― Stevo, Monday, 14 August 2023 11:05 (seven months ago) link
the star lineup on this one also includes McCoy Tyner/Elvin Jones/Jimmy Garrison/Art Davis.
― vodkaitamin effrtvescent (calzino), Monday, 14 August 2023 11:14 (seven months ago) link
I think he only had 2 steady lineups under his own name so it would either be Tyner/Jones plus Workman or Garrison and possibly Davis and depending on time some of the time either Dolphy or Sanders and then Sanders/Alice/Ali/Garrison plus possible augmentation.

This is the first time I've ever seen anyone describe A Love Supreme as boring.

Dolphy's clarineting on my favorite things is some wonderful playing, then comes Trane ... it's great stuff

It's a great Elvin record, what a gift
― Random Restaurateur (Jordan), Monday, 14 August 2023 16:53 (seven months ago) link
this dolphy recording is really excellent for a single mic recording. I saw notes that it was drum-heavy and maybe, slightly, but nothing inexcusable. that said with the advent of the technology peter jackson is using for demixing for the Beatles, I'd be really into seeing that same technology used in older jazz recordings like this.

I wrongly posted it was from the Impulse archives, I've since read it was accidentally discovered in NY public library.

It is a killer recording.

Looked at the track listing and was kinda bowled over that they perform "Africa" (!)

it's so good
beware of the vinyl copies btw, terrible pressing according to Discogs reviews

I bought this on CD today and now I want every note that was recorded for these dates, this appears to be a selection from two nights?

i'm looking forward to checking this out!

I love this new set, and was pleasantly surprised by the recording, after the disappointment of A Love Supreme: Live In Seattle release, where you nearly had to strain to hear Coltrane and the other horns. This recording also isn’t professional, but Coltrane and Dolphy are front-and-center, and it’s all completely thrilling. And I don’t know if Dolphy had already settled on his arrangement of “Africa,” recorded two months later, but he’s doing that piece’s French horn leaps on bass clarinet here, which is amazing to hear.

My copy isn't fucked but there is a weird little hiccup at the start of side three where if I don't get the needle in the exact right spot it's a all scratchy for a few seconds, it is weird and yeah it seems like generally the pressing is shoddy at best.
The set is pretty amazing, esp as a kind of bonus to the Complete 1961 Village Vanguard box

I am obsessed rn
am I correct that the only place I can get the studio take of "One Down, One Up" is on this posthumous compilation?

the 15 minute version is also on a 90s comp called "dear old stockholm" and there are a couple of takes on the more recent "both directions at once" comp. I'm not aware of it being on any official studio album unless it's a bonus track on some CD version of something
I fell in love with the track when I heard it on the coltrane/shepp newport live album - it's pleasingly tart and astringent - coming to the studio versions later they sound a little tame in comparison

You’re being modest Unperson. You did live recording from 61 to 67. And if you like the Coltrane/Dolphy stuff sleeve, there are some pretty high quality bootlegs from their European tour in 61.
