**Jazz historians have long designated 1963 as a pivotal year in the genre’s history,
thanks in no small part to John Coltrane’s indelible contributions to jazz that 
year. In the summer, Impulse! stunned jazz fans worldwide when they unveiled a lost
Coltrane artifact, entitled Both Directions at Once, that reaffirmed Coltrane’s 
excellence.**

The unreleased recording session within showed the saxophonist wholeheartedly exploring
new territories in jazz. Though that session remained unreleased for 50+ years, 
Coltrane released an impressive four albums on Impulse! in 1963, also recorded a
live album at Birdland that arrived the following year, and performed a set at Newport
that was released posthumously. Now, Impulse! collects all those genre-stretching
recordings together for the first time on a new box set called 1963: New Directions.

The collection brings together every track that John Coltrane released on Impulse!
that year, presented in the order they were recorded. That includes material from
the recent, acclaimed Both Directions At Once: The Lost Album, John Coltrane and
Johnny Hartman, Dear Old Stockholm, Newport ’63, and Live at Birdland. 1963: New
Directions also boasts new liner notes, and several new art pieces that make up 
the packaging. By bringing all the releases together for the first time ever, the
set presents crucial recordings that see a master musician exploring and expanding
the reach of the jazz idiom.
