Live At The Village Vanguard – Master Takes ... CD Impulse, 1961. Used ... $4.99
Sublimely spiritual work from the great John Coltrane – a live album, but one that's easily one of his most important contributions to music in the early 60s – and a set that we'd rank right up there with his best studio sides for Impulse or Atlantic Records at the time!
