Live in Japan is a four-disc box set by John Coltrane and his last group, featuring the quintet of Coltrane, his wife Alice, Pharoah Sanders, Jimmy Garrison and Rashied Ali.
Recorded live on Coltrane's only Japanese tour in July 1966 at two Tokyo venues, Shinjuku Kosei Nenkin Hall and Sankei Hall, it is taken from radio broadcasts. It is notable for the presence of alto saxophone, played both by Coltrane and Sanders.
Released in Japan in 1966, its complete American release was held back 25 years, though part of it was released in the mid-1970s.
