Four nights at the Vanguard, four nights here
In November 1961 Coltrane recorded four nights at the Village Vanguard. This year those dates fall on four programmable nights, so we play the box one night per night. Eric Dolphy and Reggie Workman on the stand.
Free and open to the public. No cover, no ticket.
