Impressions is a hodgepodge of memorable
John Coltrane performances from the 1961-1963 period. "India" and "Impressions" are taken from
Trane's famous November 1961 engagement at the Village Vanguard; bass clarinetist
Eric Dolphy is heard on the former while the latter features a marathon solo from
Coltrane on tenor. Also included on this set are 1962's "Up 'Gainst the Wall" and the classic of the album, 1963's "After the Rain." [This edition of
Impressions includes the ten-plus-minute bonus track "Dear Old Stockholm."]
