About
Live in Japan is a four-disc box set by American saxophonist John Coltrane and his last group, a quintet featuring Coltrane, his wife/pianist Alice, saxophonist/bass clarinetist Pharoah Sander, bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Rashied Ali. The 4-CD set compiles all the music issued as three albums in the seventies by Impulse!; Concert In Japan (1973, US 2-LP), Coltrane In Japan (1973, Japan 3-LP , mono) and Second Night In Tokyo (1977, Japan 3-LP (side six contains an interview, mono). (Some of this material was also reissued as two 2-LP sets in 1980 by MCA under the titles Coltrane In Tokyo Vol. 1 and Coltrane In Tokyo Vol. 2) The first CD issues were by Impulse! Japan as two 2-CD sets: Live In Japan Vol. 1 (same as "Coltrane In Japan") and Live In Japan Vol. 2 (same as "Second Night In Tokyo"). The US 4-CD edition includes both of these volume, with identical mastering from the original mono tape. The side six interview from "Second Night In Tokyo" has never been reissued on any CD edition. Recorded live on Coltrane's only Japanese tour in July 1966 at two Tokyo venue, Shinjuku Kosei Nenkin Hall and Sankei Hall, it is taken from mono radio broadcast. Unusually for these player, both Coltrane and Sanders sometimes play alto saxophone in these recording. By this point in his career, Coltrane was firmly enmeshed into the avant-garde style of jazz. Sander, who was an innovator of free jazz, influenced Coltrane's playing through his technical use of overblowing and fierce vibrations of the reed. Both saxophone players use multiphonic, overtone, and other extended musical technique.
