Records in July 1963, Impressions documents John Coltranes classic quartet with pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Elvin Jones. Two selections India and Impressions originate from the groups November 1961 engagement at the Village Vanguard, where the quartet was joined by Eric Dolphy on alto saxophone, bass clarinet, and flute and second bassist Reggie Workman. These are paired with the studio recordings Up Gainst the Wall (recorded September 18, 1962) and After the Rain (recorded April 29, 1963, at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, NJ), the latter featuring Roy Haynes on drums. Issued during the same period as albums including Coltrane and Live at Birdland, Impressions forms part of Coltrane's early-1960s Impulse! discography, demonstrating the quartets unique power in both expanded live performance and studio contexts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Coltrane","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57341670261109,"sku":"199957084635","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/3193\/8933\/files\/JC_IMPRESSIONS_COVER_3000x3000_2cf304d4-44c9-4c79-ba03-8737e811a889.jpg?v=1785509789"},{"product_id":"meditations-verve-vault","title":"Meditations (Verve Vault)","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eMeditations, released in 1966 on Impulse!
