Review by Ken Dryden
John Coltrane frequently appeared on live radio broadcasts of concerts while touring with his bands, with many of them appearing and reappearing on various European labels. This 1963 Copenhagen concert, recorded at Tivoli Konertasal, features his classic quartet with McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones. Previously issued by TDJ and MagLuxe, this two-CD set contains the complete concert, except for "Impressions," which was evidently incomplete on the original source tape. As typical with live recordings made from broadcasts with no remixing, the sound is not to the standard of a professional recording, with somewhat distant bass and muddy audio in spots. But the music is very listenable and finds the quartet at a peak, particularly in Coltrane's features on soprano sax, which include "The Promise," "Afro-Blue," and an explosive "My Favorite Things." In spite of the sound shortcomings, which also include brief dropouts, serious Coltrane collectors will get sufficient enjoyment to invest in this set.

Reseña de Ken Dryden
John Coltrane apareció con frecuencia en transmisiones de radio en vivo de conciertos mientras estaba de gira con sus bandas, y muchos de ellos aparecieron y reaparecieron en varios sellos europeos. Este concierto de Copenhague de 1963, grabado en el Tivoli Konertasal, presenta su cuarteto clásico con McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison y Elvin Jones. Publicado previamente por TDJ y MagLuxe, este set de dos CD contiene el concierto completo, excepto "Impressions", que evidentemente estaba incompleto en la cinta original. Como es típico en las grabaciones en vivo realizadas a partir de transmisiones sin remezclas, el sonido no cumple con los estándares de una grabación profesional, con graves algo distantes y audio turbio en algunos lugares. Pero la música es muy escuchable y encuentra al cuarteto en su apogeo, particularmente en las características de Coltrane en el saxo soprano, que incluyen "The Promise", "Afro-Blue" y una explosiva " My Favorite Things."A pesar de las deficiencias de sonido, que también incluyen breves abandonos, los coleccionistas serios de Coltrane disfrutarán lo suficiente como para invertir en este set.
