Backed by McCoy Tyner, Reggie Workman and Elvin Jones, Coltrane decided in mid-1961 to try his luck with his first European tour as a leader. The group which crossed the ocean, however, wasn't a quartet but a quintet, due to the addition of alto sax and flute player Eric Dolphy. "For a long time", declared later Coltrane, "Eric Dolphy and I had been talking about all kinds of improvising techniques. Finally, I decided that as long as my band was working steadily, it made sense for Eric to join us". The Olympia performances are full of excitement.
