Coltrane

UK Reissue, Stereo. Sleeve has minor wear. Live at Birdland (stylized on the cover as Coltrane live at Birdland) is an album by the jazz saxophonist John Coltrane that features both live and in-studio components. It was released on January 9, 1964 through Impulse! Records. Like the earlier album Impressions, and despite the album's title, only three of its tracks were actually recorded live at the Birdland club; the remainder are studio recordings. Among them is "Alabama", a tribute to four black children killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, a terrorist attack in Birmingham, Alabama perpetrated by white supremacists.
