Recorded at Newport Jazz Festival, on July 2, 1966

John Coltrane's last performance ever at the Newport Jazz Festival, on July 2,
1966. This is the first time that this material is issued on any format.
Coltrane performed three extended tunes at the festival, including a version of
'My Favorite Things' that is much freer than ever, a beautiful reading of his
ballad 'Welcome' and a powerful version of 'Leo', a song he had taped in the
studio six months earlier. Includes 12 page booklet. John Coltrane had played
at Newport in 1958, 1961, 1963 & 1965. Coltrane's 1966 appearance at the
festival would be his last. The 1966 Newport set, which appears here for the
first time ever on CD, showcased Coltrane with the last group he fronted, which
was moving further and further in the direction of free jazz. From the classic
quartet, only bassist Jimmy Garrison remained. Coltrane's wife Alice McLeod aka
Alice Coltrane is at the piano, Rashied Ali is on drums, and Pharoah Sanders
who had also collaborated with Coltrane on his 1965 album Ascension plays tenor
sax, piccolo and percussion. ~ worldsrecords.com
