Limited 180 gram Dutch orange pressing. Includes bonus track. Africa/Brass is the eighth studio album by jazz musician John Coltrane, released in 1961 on Impulse! Records. The sixth release for the fledgling label and Coltrane's first for Impulse!, it features Coltrane's working quartet augmented by a larger ensemble to bring the total number of participating musicians to 21. It's big band sound, with the unusual instrumentation of French horns and euphonium, presented music very different from anything that had been associated with Coltrane to date.
