Recorded live in Austria in 1962, THE INCH WORM captures John Coltrane's legendary quartet from the early 1960s in action. Although the group would reach the peak of their collective powers with A LOVE SUPREME two years later, THE INCH WORM finds them with no shortage of inspiration. In Jimmy Garrison (bass), McCoy Tyner (piano), and the mighty Elvin Jones (drums), Coltrane had a unit that equaled his own power, precision, and will to explore.
