John Coltrane * The Tiberi Tapes: A Preview of the Mythic Recordings [RSD 2026]

Among the most fabled and mythologized recordings of the last 65 years, the private recordings of John Coltrane’s group made by musician Frank Tiberi in the early 1960s have long been the subject of jazz world rumor and intense speculation. Tiberi followed Coltrane and his Classic Quartet into clubs in New York and Philadelphia, capturing the otherworldly music being created nightly on his portable tape recorder.
For the first time ever, these recordings will be made available in September 2026 as part of John Coltrane’s Centennial celebrations. For Record Store Day 2026, we’re offering a single LP preview of these historic recordings—a project that will undoubtedly grow and enhance the legend of John Coltrane.
