Coltrane discoveries are continuing. The newly revived Impulse! label--which has already rereleased such late Coltrane albums as A Love Supreme--will release two more albums in October: the complete Africa/Brass sessions, in which Coltrane experiments with tribal rhythms, and Stellar Regions, mostly unreleased songs recorded with his pianist wife Alice only months before his death. The latest trove: 30 hours of raw tape found earlier this year, rescued as they were about to be trashed. Impulse! is negotiating to release these recordings starting next year. Dorn calls it "possibly one of the great musical discoveries of all time." And possibly not, but for the Coltrane revival, another giant step.
