Afro Blue Impressions is an album of a performance by jazz musician John Coltrane that was recorded live in 1963. The album was originally released many years later, in 1977, on the Pablo label, as a double LP. [2]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars: "No new revelations occur, but this is a strong all-around set of Trane near his peak." [3]
In 2013, the album was re-released under the title Afro Blue Impressions (Remastered and Expanded). [4] This re-release won the Grammy Award for Best Album Notes. [5]
