Both Directions At Once: The Lost Album
On June 29th “Both Directions at Once: The Lost Album by John Coltrane” was released the last new Coltrane recording to be uncovered was “Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall” in 2005.
“During the year 1957, I experienced, by the grace of God, a
spiritual awakening which was to lead me to a richer, fuller, more productive
life.”
The importance of this release was that it was made a day
before the seminal album John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman Impulse! A-40, the
album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2013. A little more than a month latter (April 29,
1963) Coltrane recorded "After the Rain" released on the album
impressions.
This recording was made during Coltrane’s nightly residence
at Bird land (1963) probably the most fertile period for his “classic” quintet.
