Original comments: "From "The John Coltrane Reference" (Porter et al.):
"Private recording by Alan Sukoenig, who recorded with a portable tape recorder at the club;
the tapes are currently in the collection of the Institute of Jazz Studies (IJS), Rutgers, New Jersey.
These mono audience recordings are of listenable audio quality; they feature powerful Coltrane solos
(particularly his cadenca on "I'm a weaver of dreams") and deserve to be released through official channels."

The date usually assigned to this concert is June, 10 1963, but if the original taper is right, the real date is
June, 24 1963 (see accompanying file). Note, however, that this date is given in the John Coltrane Reference as a possible date for the Tête d'Art show in Montreal."

Thanks to Alan Sukoenig, dadoun, goody & rmtubs.
