Captured at Van Gelder studios after he recorded his seminal LP A Love Supreme, the sessions featured a quartet with Jimmy Garrison, Elvin Jones and McCoy Tyner, to revisit earlier works.

The 8-tracks were originally intended for Quebecois filmmaker, Gilles Groulx’s film Le Chat dans le sac, though only 10 minutes of the 37-minute recording were used in the film.

Blue World follows Both Directions At Once – a lost Coltrane album from 1963 that was released for the first time in 2018.
