John Coltrane - The Tiberi Tapes - 4 LP box set

The Tiberi Tapes opens a door long-whispered about among Coltrane fans: intimate, previously unheard live recordings made by saxophonist Frank Tiberi as he followed John Coltrane through Philadelphia and New York clubs in the early 1960s. Captured on modest reel-to-reel equipment, these performances trade Polish for presence, placing the listener close to the bandstand as Coltrane and his bandmates test, stretch and transform the music in real time. The sound bears the immediacy of it's origins: raw, direct and alive with discovery. For Tiberi, these tapes were study materials, a private archive of harmonic information and musical inspiration. More than 60 years later, they emerge as something larger: a vital chapter in the Coltrane story, preserving the feeling, risk and relentless searching that made the bandstand his truest laboratory. Heard now, the music feels not archival but immediate, a living document of curiosity, discipline and ecstatic momentum. 4-LP set.
     The shows were captured between 1960 and 1064 at the Jazz Gallery in New York City, Pep's in Philadelphia, and The Showboat also in Philadelphia. Musicians included are Eric Dolphy, McCoy Tyner, Reggie Workman, Elvin Jones and Pete LaRoca.
