Long circulated more as jazz-world rumour than release, these performances come from a crucial stretch in Coltrane's development, with the bandstand serving as his real laboratory. The rough, close-up sound is part of the point: this is Coltrane testing ideas in public, not preserving them in studio conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe set traces that restless movement across several line-ups, from early 1960 readings of \u003cem\u003eGiant Steps\u003c\/em\u003e with McCoy Tyner, Steve Davis and Pete La Roca to later performances with Elvin Jones, Jimmy Garrison and, on key selections, Eric Dolphy. You can hear repertoire expanding along with the group language: the modal reach of \u003cem\u003eImpressions\u003c\/em\u003e, the open-ended momentum of \u003cem\u003eSatellite\u003c\/em\u003e, and a live \u003cem\u003eResolution\u003c\/em\u003e from 1964 that places Coltrane's quartet just before and around one of the defining periods of his career. More than a cache of curiosities, this is a vivid document of how his music changed shape onstage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes \u003cem\u003eThe Tiberi Tapes\u003c\/em\u003e especially compelling is that Tiberi originally made the recordings as study material, trying to understand Coltrane's harmonic thinking from inside the room. Heard now, more than sixty years later, they preserve not just rare performances but the working process behind them: repetition, extension, risk, and the sheer discipline of a band pushing every tune further than the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4xLP, Verve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreviously unreleased live recordings made by Frank Tiberi between 1960 and 1964\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBox set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes booklet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cq\u003eholy grail recordings from the height of Coltrane’s live career.\u003c\/q\u003e - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/2026\/sep\/11\/100-years-after-john-coltranes-birth-secret-tapes-are-emerging-what-can-they-tell-us-about-jazzs-great-rulebreaker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 4\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e1.
