Music reviews of Last Performance at Newport July 2 1966
Music Review: 4 star performance, 2 1/2 star sound quality
Rating: 4 Stars
First off, you had better like the free period in Trane's career or you won't get through this. The recording has historical merit in that it documents Coltrane's last appearance at Newport. But it isn't well recorded at all and sadly, that takes considerably away from any consideration of the full dimensions of the band's efforts. This is obviously very much a boot with very little pixie dust sprinkled over it to restore fidelity, any fidelity. There may not be a better or more complete tape of this and if that is the case, more's the pity. They all went for the throat on this concert, but drums, bass and piano have precious little presence or nuance, and it sounds like all that Alice is doing behind Trane and Saunders is comping. The liner notes indicate that My Favourite Things opened with an 8 minute bass solo, but that is gone, and so the editors made the decision to splice a bit of the melody from the end of the iteration to the beginning to get the song off and running on disc. Hopefully Wein has something, anything, in the vaults better than this. As I say, this performance has significant historic merit, but, like the last concert at the Church in Ny that was released a few years back, the tapes are in radical need of sophisticated cleaning up and whatever remastering is possible. If the estate is not up to the task, I'd suggest they contact Robert Fripp at [...]

Description of Last Performance at Newport July 2 1966
2009 release containing John Coltrane's last ever performance at the Newport Jazz Festival, on July 2, 1966. This is the first time that this material is issued on any format! Coltrane performed three extended tunes at the festival, including a version of 'My Favorite Things' that is much freer than ever, a beautiful reading of his ballad 'Welcome' and a powerful version of 'Leo', a song he had taped in the studio six months earlier.
