Olatunji Concert – Last Live Recording ... CD Impulse, 1967. Used ... Just Sold Out!
The last concert ever played by the great John Coltrane – and, as with some of his other recordings from 1967, a record that really shows the Great One stepping out into some territory we would have loved him to explore more, had he not left our world too soon!
