John Coltrane - Olatunji Concert: Last Live Recording 1967 torrent

Note: Not only the sound quality, but also the sheer impact of the music might scare off the casual listener. The converted won’t care.

“The Olatunji Concert: The Last Live Recording” documents a live performance on April 23, 1967 in New York. John Coltrane would play once more in front of a live crowd on May 7, 1967 in Baltimore, but the last available live recording is documented here. It demonstrates his sonic blast free jazz direction that was becoming more aggressive and out of bounds.
The two extended compositions on this date, the Afro-Brazilian folk tune "Ogunde" and "My Favorite Things," are taken to their harmonic and rhythmic limits by Coltrane and company, Pharoah Sanders, Alice Coltrane, Rashied Ali, and Jimmy Garrison totally ripping it up.
Coltrane quite simply went where no musician had gone before.
