(More customer reviews)The John Coltrane Box Set "In Europe," is a rare gem. The Material on this set spans between November 61 to July of 65. The amount of musical changes that are represented in this set are grand. The Highlights of the set include the version of "my Favorite Things" with eric Dolphy on flute, the Selections of Standards on Disc 2 and the only known recording of "A Love Supreme" recorded Live that I know of. This performance is complete at 48:00 minutes long and is not included in the new Pablo John Coltrane Europe box set. This set is definately worth the wait.... Here is some information about the box set not included on this page. I hope that it is helpful. Happy Listening and Happy 75th to John!
