Among the most fabled and mythologized recordings of the last 65 years, the private recordings of John Coltranes group made by musician Frank Tiberi in the early 1960s have long been the subject of jazz world rumor and intense speculation. Tiberi followed Coltrane into clubs in New York and Philadelphia, capturing the otherworldly music being created nightly on his portable tape recorder.

For the first time ever, these recordings will be made available in September 2026 as part of John Coltranes Centennial celebrations.

For Record Store Day 2026, were offering a single LP preview of these historic recordings – a project that will undoubtedly grow and enhance the legend of John Coltrane.

McCoy Tyner piano. Steve Davis bass (prob.).

Pete LaRoca drums (prob.).

Probably recorded at the Showboat, Philadelphia, PA in the early 1960s.
