Impressions is a
1963 album by jazz musician
John Coltrane. Most of the album was recorded live at the
Village Vanguard on November 3, 1961 and released in 1963 on the
Impulse! label. The recording features the "classic quartet" of John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones; they are joined by
Eric Dolphy and
Reggie Workman on the live Vanguard tracks. Dolphy plays a memorable solo on the long modal workout "India", but lays out on all but the coda of "
Impressions". Workman is at hand only on "India", to join Garrison in approximating the sound of an African drum choir.
