The live version was recorded later in Seattle at The Penthouse Jazz Club. Compared to the studio version, the cast of musicians was reduced. John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders on saxophones, McCoy Tyner on piano, Elvin Jones on drums, Jimmy Garrison and Donald Garrett on bass. Besides the latter, they were all involved in the studio recording of “A Love Supreme”.
