John Coltrane and his legendary quartet performing "Impressions" during Ralph J. Gleason's Jazz Casual television series, recorded on December 7, 1963.
Elvin Jones is an absolute force behind the drums here. His relentless energy, polyrhythms and incredible interplay with Coltrane are something else. And with McCoy Tyner and Jimmy Garrison completing the quartet, this is four extraordinary musicians at the height of their powers.
One of those performances that reminds you just how special the Classic Coltrane Quartet really was.
