John Coltrane - Offering: Live at Temple University [2LP] (180 Gram Audiophile V

John Coltrane Offering: Live At Temple University on Numbered Limited Edition 180g 2LP from Resonance Records Legendary November 11, 1966 Concert Captured in Hometown of Philadelphia 9 Months Before His Death First Edition: 4,000 Hand-Numbered Copies  Mastered by Bernie Grundman Offering: Live At Temple University documents a legendary concert by John Coltrane at Temple University in his hometown, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on November 11, 1966, six weeks after his fortieth birthday and nine months before his untimely death. Offering incorporates a look that is contiguous with the graphic identity of Impulse! Records, Coltrane’s exclusive label from 1961 until the end of his life. This is the first officially sanctioned release of an undiscovered, complete Coltrane performance since 2005. It captures Coltrane in exemplary form, navigating the language he had developed during the last phase of his musical path with passion and pellucid logic. Operating at equivalent levels of invention and energy are three members of his working quintet of one year’s standing his wife, Alice Coltrane, on piano; Pharoah Sanders on reeds and flute; and Rashied Ali on drums. Offering is emblematic of the efflorescent energies and radical ideas that Coltrane himself had much to do with bringing forth during the seven years after 1960, when he left the employ of Miles Davis to pursue his vision as a leader.  There are versions of Coltrane’s 1960 hits “Naima” and “My Favorite Things,” a transformational reworking of the 1964 ballad “Crescent,” a spirit-raising rendering of “Leo,” which he had recorded on several previous occasions during 1966, and the hymnal “Offering,” which he would record at a February 15, 1967 studio session that Impulse! would release during the ‘90s as Spiritual Offering. The immense life-force that animates the proceedings on this November 1966 evening in Philadelphia belies the declining state of Coltrane’s health. It is still difficult to grasp and to accept that he was firmly in the grip of the liver cancer that would still his voice on July 17, 1967. As co-producer Ashley Kahn states in his liner notes, “Coltrane was pointing the way forward for generations of players to come, pushing the music to exhilarating, spiritual heights that caught most by surprise. In 1966, that wasn’t what jazz performances were about ?not yet.” On Offering: Live At Temple University, Resonance Records achieves the highest possible audio quality, using direct transfers of original master reels from a location recording by Temple’s WRTI-FM, remastered at 96kHz/24 bit, that were tracked down by Coltrane scholar Yasuhiro Fujioka.  Featured Artists:    John Coltrane ?(soprano & tenor saxophone, flute, vocals) Pharoah Sanders (tenor saxophone, piccolo) Alice Coltrane (piano)  Sonny Johnson (bass)  Rashied Ali (drums) Additional Musicians:  Steve Knoblauch / Arnold Joyner ?(alto saxophone) Umar Ali / Algie DeWitt / Robert Kenyatta ?(percussion) Features: • Audiophile 180-gram vinyl pressed on 12" LP's at 331/3 RPM by Record Technology Incorporated (R.T.I.) ?• Hand-numbered gatefold by Stoughton Press ??• Vibrant four panel insert with liner notes by Ashley Kahn ??• Special collector postcards with photos by Frank Kofsky ???• Mastered by Bernie Grundman John Coltrane Offering - Live At Temple University Track Listing: LP1 1.  Naima (16:28) 2.  Crescent (26:11) LP2 1.  Leo (21:29) 2.  Offering (4:19) 3.  My Favorite Things (23:18)
