2018 has marked a historic year for John Coltrane in the jazz world. To top it off, Impulse! will release 1963: New Directions as a 5xLP box set on 30th November.
John Coltrane’s recordings from 1963 are collected in this release, 1963: New Directions. It features material from Coltrane’s recordings during that year from the albums Both Directions at Once: The Lost Album, John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman, Dear Old Stockholm, Newport‘63 and Live at Birdland. 1963 came to be regarded as a point of transition between his previous jazz masterpieces and the genre-expanding music he went on to create.
