I never got my hands on the original recordings but i got some recordings called complete impulse recordings collection that consisted on various cds but i got like 2 of them. One of them have several songs that are free jazz: Joy, Compasion, etc. I hope you get into trane he was amazing to improvise, i highly recomend Giant Steps if you know a bit about theory check out how he is changing dominants ( that means different scales ) all the time is like a new tonality every 2 chords and he improvises like it is the easiest thing in the world...amazing the keyboard player made an atempt to improvise but 3 times he stopped halt because he was so lost in the uptempo fast changing song. Really quite a classic i love that song.
