Live at Birdland

Coltrane Live at Birdland

Arguably John Coltrane's finest all-around album (AllMusic)

Despite its title, only the first three tracks were recorded live at the Birdland club; the rest are studio tracks. Among them is "Alabama", a tribute to four children killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, an attack at a Birmingham, Alabama church by white supremacist. (Wikipedia)
