Offering: Live At Temple University documents a legendary concert by John Coltrane at Temple University's Mitten Hall in on November 11, 1966, nine months before his untimely death. It captures Coltrane in exemplary form, navigating a language he had developed during the last phase of his musical path with passion and clear logic. The concert features three members of his working quintet at the time: his wife, Alice Coltrane, on piano; Pharoah Sanders on saxophones and flute; and Rashied Ali on drums plus local bassist Sonny Johnson on bass (subbing for Jimmy Garrison) and an assortment of Philadelphia musicians, who sat in on the concert - Steve Knoblauch and Arnold Joyner on alto saxophones and Umar Ali, Algie DeWitt and Robert Kenyatta on percussion..

Direct transfers of the original master reels from a location recording by Temple’s then student-run WRTI-FM, remastered at 96kHz/24 bit, were tracked down in the station's archives by Coltrane scholar Yasuhiro Fujioka and form the basis for this release - the first of its kind in almost a decade.
