The new material will be produced and released in July, on an album featuring Eric Dolphy
unpublished recording of John Coltrane and Eric Dolphy was found and rescued after a nearly six-decade search of the New York Public Library. The archive of saxophonists had been lost for 60 years.
The recording in question is part of a series of presentations made by coltrane at the Village Gate in New York in 1961. Originally, the material was recorded as part of a test run of the club’s new sound system at the time. The tapes were then archived in the Performing Areas section of the New York Public Library, where, over time, they were considered lost.
For nearly six decades, the institution has been engaged in the search for this valuable recording, which brought together two jazz icons. Now, they have finally been found, and the recording will be released on the album “Evenings at the Village Gate” July 14th.
According to The Guardianthe disc reveals the collaboration of John Coltrane and Eric Dolphy on tracks that have become classics, such as “My Favorite Things”, “Impressions” and “Greensleeves”. In addition to the saxophonists, the recording also features the bassist Reggie Workmanthe pianist McCoy Tyner and the drummer Elvin Jones.
