On the album, Coltrane appears on piano and harp, and is joined by saxophonists Pharoah Sanders and Archie Shepp, bassists Jimmy Garrison and Cecil McBee, and drummers Ed Blackwell and Clifford Jarvis.[1][2][3]
The album, which consists of a single track documenting a performance of John Coltrane's "Africa", was recorded at a benefit for Swami Satchidanda's Integral Yoga Institute that also featured Laura Nyro and The New Rascals.[4][3] Regarding Coltrane's band, a concert reviewer for Billboard wrote: "This was one of the greatest assemblages to appear on the Carnegie Hall stage."[5]
In 2021, the album was reissued by the Alternative Fox label with the title Live at Carnegie Hall, 1971.[6]
