In augustus 1961 speelde het John Coltrane Quintet in de legendarische Village Gate in Greenwich Village, New York. Coltrane's Classic Quartet had zijn definitieve vorm nog niet gevonden en die avond speelde de visionaire multi-instrumentalist Eric Dolphy mee. Twee iconen uit de jazz-scene van die tijd, twee jaar later zou Dolphy overlijden. Op dit album 90 minuten nooit eerder gehoorde muziek van deze groep, vergeten en herontdekt in de New York Public Library.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the summer of 1961, John Coltrane headlined at the celebrated music venue, the Village Gate. With a line-up of musicians that included McCoy Tyner, Reggie Workman, Elvin Jones, and the fiery playing of Eric Dolphy, Evenings at the Village Gate captures the creative and transformative spirit that sprang from the pairing of Coltrane and Dolphy, and the evolving short-lived quintet.

Evenings At The Village Gate: John Coltrane With Eric Dolphy will be released globally July 14 on Impulse! Records/UMe. The first track from the fabled performances, “Impressions,” will be available from June 1 when you can pre-order the album and a special edition orange vinyl variant here.

Recently discovered at the New York Public Library, the recordings on this album—recorded by engineer Rich Alderson as part of a test of the club's new sound system—were seemingly lost, then found, and then disappeared again into the vast sound archives of the New York Public Library.  The tapes’ circuitous route over several decades seemingly mirrors Coltrane's ongoing musical journey in August of 1961.

Recorded during Coltrane’s month-long Village Gate residency with his quintet (often with a revolving cast of musicians), the album consists of ninety minutes of never-before-heard music. It offers a glimpse into a powerful musical partnership that ended much too soon – Dolphy sadly passed away three years later and this recording is the only live recording of their legendary Village Gate performances. In addition to some well-known Coltrane material (“My Favorite Things,” “Impressions,” and “Greensleeves”), there is a breathtaking feature for Dolphy’s bass clarinet on “When Lights Are Low,” and the only known non-studio recording of Coltrane’s composition “Africa,” that includes bassist Art Davis.

Evenings at the Village Gate showcases the poignant, brief relationship between John Coltrane and Eric Dolphy. Coltrane first met Dolphy in Los Angeles and, when Dolphy moved to New York in 1959, they renewed their friendship. They recognized many of the same analytic and driving qualities in each other. Both came of age at the height of bebop, both were deeply interested in harmony and emotive expression and both employed vocal-like effects and a wide emotional range in their playing. The combination of their signature sounds—Dolphy's distinctively bright, sharply-stated voice set against Coltrane's darker, slurred phrasing—is a unique and evocative feature of their historic run at the Village Gate.

Accompanying the release are essays from two participants from those evenings at the Village Gate, bassist Reggie Workman and recording engineer Rich Alderson. Additionally, historian Ashley Kahn and jazz luminaries Branford Marsalis and Lakecia Benjamin offer valuable and insightful essays on the recordings.

stiff like cardboard tops of shoes
Size: 5.5, Color: Natural Nbpu
These shoes are good enough quality and cute cute - even fit great, EXCEPT the faux leather top (part that encircles your leg) is so stiff, that when you walk, it cuts into your leg like hard cardboard making it difficult to walk comfortably. I do like them otherwise, but can't stand the hard, unbending top of these shoes.

Sizing.
Size: 10, Color: Natural Nbpu
They run big, I usually wear a size 9 wide, but since they didn't come in a wide, I chose a 10 and they fit comfortably width wise, but they were too big otherwise. I would recommend letting viewers know if it is a wide shoe to let buyers know, to better serve the customer on what size to purchase, other than that, I loved the shoes just wish I could've kept them and worn them for my event.

Flattering, Comfortable, and Perfect for Everyday Wear
Size: Large, Color: Black
This Amazon Essentials tiered midi dress has quickly become one of my favorites! The fit is relaxed but still flattering — it flows nicely without clinging, and the tiers give it a light, feminine shape. The fabric is soft, breathable, and easy to wash, making it perfect for warm days or layering with a cardigan in cooler weather. It’s one of those rare dresses that works just as well for casual outings, errands, or a dinner out. I’ve even worn it to work with sandals and a denim jacket. The length hits just right (mid-calf for me), and it has that effortless, pulled-together look that’s hard to find at this price. If you love comfy, versatile dresses that make you feel put together with zero effort, this one’s a winner!
