Unheard John Coltrane Recordings from the 'Tiberi Tapes' to Finally See Release
Lost John Coltrane recordings from the '60s, dubbed the 'Tiberi Tapes,' are set for release as part of a centennial celebration. A new video for 'Acknowledgement' has also been unveiled.
A previously unreleased collection of live John Coltrane recordings, known as the Tiberi Tapes, is slated for release this year. These recordings, captured at jazz clubs in New York and Philadelphia between 1961 and 1965 by saxophonist Frank Tiberi, have remained largely unheard, residing in a private collection.
As part of a year-long celebration of what would have been Coltrane's 100th birthday in September, the Tiberi Tapes will be released on Impulse! Records as a Record Store Day exclusive on April 18, with a wider release following in September.
To further commemorate the centennial, Impulse! has also shared a new video for "Acknowledgement," the opening track from A Love Supreme. The video, directed by Kamasi Washington and Mitski collaborator AG Rojas, faithfully recreates New Jersey’s Van Gelder Studios as it looked on the day A Love Supreme was recorded. Check it out below:
The "Coltrane 100" programming extends beyond this release. It will also include reissues of classic albums such as Ascension, Africa/Brass, and Impressions. A new best-of compilation will highlight his 1957 and 1958 sessions. Additionally, a sound installation overseen by hi-fi specialist Devon Turnbull will be featured at New York’s Cooper Hewitt.
A special show, "Coltrane 100: Legacy," is scheduled for September 23 at the Hollywood Bowl, featuring orchestral adaptations of Coltrane's work from Wynton Marsalis, saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin, and a 16-piece symphony. Furthermore, this year will mark the first time the John and Alice Coltrane Home in Dix Hills, New York, and the John Coltrane House in Philadelphia will be open to the public.
