The Tiberi Tapes

Lost for six decades, 'The Tiberi Tapes' uncover remarkable performances whose brilliance shines beyond the limitations of the recordings themselves. Certain musical treasures reach us in raw form, their sonic anomalies inseparable from their history. Their true worth reveals itself in attentive listening. 'The Tiberi Tapes' are such a treasure. Hidden away for six decades, these recordings offer musical riches that transcend the medium that preserved them. 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 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 November 2026 as part of John Coltrane's Centennial celebrations.
