Concert In Japan

About

This concert was originally recorded monaurally for radio broadcast. Recorded in concert at Koseinenkin Hall, Tokyo, Japan, July 22, 1966. Originally released as 2-LP set Impulse! AS-9246-2 (1973) "Leo" (three parts) and "Peace on Earth" (two parts) were broken up across LP sides. Personnel John Coltrane - soprano, alto and tenor saxophones, percussion Alice Coltrane - piano Pharoah Sanders - alto and tenor saxophones, bass clarinet, percussion Jimmy Garrison - bass Rashied Ali - drums Note: According to the Japan tour itinerary, which was reproduced in its entirety in both J. C. Thomas' biography Chasin' the Trane and The John Coltrane Reference (the authors of the Reference note that the itinerary was provided to them by Rashied Ali, and a photocopy of the first page of the itinerary is also included), the Coltrane quintet played in Sankei Hall on July 10 and 11, and Shinjuku Kosei Nenkin Hall on July 18, 19, and 22, 1966. However, the CD notes incorrectly state that the July 11 recording was made at Shinjuku Kosei Nenkin Hall and the July 22 recording at Sankei Hall. The Coltrane Reference confirms this error, stating that, for the July 11 concert, the CD "wrongly lists the location as Shinjuku Koseinenkin Hall" and, for the July 22 concert, it "wrongly lists location as Sankei Hall". Katherine Whatley's article "Tracing a Giant Step: John Coltrane in Japan" provides an overview of the entire tour, including dates and locations.
