THE TIBERI TAPES: A PREVIEW OF THE MYTHICAL RECORDINGS 

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 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 celebration. “THE TIBERI TAPES: A PREVIEW OF THE MYTHICAL RECORDINGS” offers a single-LP preview of these historic recordings and will be available April 18th at participating Record Store Day stores.
