Coltrane, John ‎- Both Directions At Once: The Lost Album (Vinyl)

John Coltrane ‎- Both Directions At Once: The Lost Album (Vinyl)

Unknown until 2004 and unheard until 2018, these recordings by the John Coltrane Quartet are, as Sonny Rollins says in the liner notes, like finding a new room in the Great Pyramid. Featuring the Classic Quartet - John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones - and recorded at the end of a two-week run at Birdland, the music on this album represents one of the most influential groups in music history both performing in a musical style it had perfected and reaching in new, exploratory directions that were to affect the trajectory of jazz from that point forward.
