Sometimes the universe gets immeasurably better. For example, on June 29, the world will suddenly have an entire album of previously unheard music by John Coltrane’s classic quartet.
Via Pitchfork:
Out June 29 as Both Directions at Once: the Lost Album, the record had long been thought lost and likely destroyed in the early 1970s. But Coltrane had given a reference tape to his wife Naima. Coltrane made the recording at Van Gelder Studios with his Classic Quartet: McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones. He plays soprano sax on the pair of unheard recordings. “This is like finding a new room in the Great Pyramid,” wrote Sonny Rollins in a press release.
