Lost John Coltrane recordings to be released after discovery in NY Public Library.
Never-before-heard live recordings of John Coltrane and Eric Dolphy from their 1961 residency at New York’s Village Gate have been discovered in the New York Public Library and will be released next month. The recordings were lost in the library's archives for several decades before being rediscovered. The album, titled Evenings at the Village Gate, features classic Coltrane numbers and is the only live recording of the group’s legendary Village Gate performances. The recordings provide a special insight into Coltrane and Dolphy’s brief musical partnership, which encompassed several albums released between 1961 and 1963.
