Lost John Coltrane Recording From 1963 Will Be Released June 29th

On Friday, Impulse! will announce the June 29 release of “Both Directions at Once: The Lost Album,” a full set of material recorded by the quartet on a single day in March 1963, then eventually stashed away and lost. The family of Coltrane’s first wife, Juanita Naima Coltrane, recently discovered his personal copy of the recordings, which she had saved, and brought it to the label’s attention.

Lost John Coltrane Recording From 1963 Will Be Released at Last

 

I must have a few hundred hours of John Coltrane. Always nice to have the chance to get a bit more !

 

If that sample which is playing on that linked website is from the album, it sounds pretty good. I prefer his Tenor playing over Soprano, but this will be an interesting release.

 

Sounds like a must-have.

 

Exciting stuff!

 

I'd be interested in the story of how this got "lost". That linked article gives no clue. They recorded the sessions and...did Impulse! say no? Did Coltrane decide he didn't want it out? Something else?

 

Sample track sounds good! I'll be curious to hear this session.

 

I'm in. Just ordered the LP.

 

What is this PledgeMusic? Has anyone ordered from here before?

 

I'm not a huge fan of his released 1963 recordings, but the glorious My Favorite Things from Newport suggests that he was reigning himself in a bit (in the studio). Hopefully this goes a little more in the 64 (or 61) direction!

 

Great news! Thanks for the news and link.

 

Awesome news! And we don’t have to wait 6+ months to get it!!

 

Another trip to the record shop for me.

Very exciting.

 

I will be buying the deluxe version - 4 studio versions of Impressions! This is very exciting news!

 

I don't see the LP on Amazon, is Pledge Music the only seller with that format?

And yes, I have ordered from them before without hassle

 

It’s there. I saw it earlier. No cover art shown yet. Do not have a link in front of me.

 

Pledge Music has what looks to be the versions of the cover art and I like it!

You're right -- thanks Mazzy and Beatnic_Daddyo7- I did a specific search when the 'other formats' failed to find it, and it came up. It's ordered.

 

I'm immediately in because of "Nature Boy" alone.

Wonder if this has anything to do with this:

I'm working on a very special project. You're gonna love it! - CANCELLED!

 

This article says: "Inexplicably, the session got shelved, then overlooked, and eventually, as the years passed, completely lost."

Absolutely love the design of the cover for the CD version.

 

Yeah, I don't take "inexplicably" as an answer. I doubt Impulse! said to Coltrane at the time: "Inexplicably, we're not going to release these sessions, so we're shelving them..." I'd like to know why.
