1966: back at the Vanguard, but everything has changed. The classic quartet is gone; now it is Pharoah Sanders, Alice Coltrane, Jimmy Garrison and Rashied Ali, and the music has moved past modal into pure energy and devotion. The centerpiece is "Naima" - John Coltrane's most beloved ballad rebuilt from the ground up into something almost unrecognizable and completely overwhelming, tenderness and tumult occupying the same space. Garrison's long solo introductions are events in themselves. Late Coltrane live is a different substance from the studio records: hotter, riskier, more exposed. Japanese pressing of an essential document from the final period.
