Ten titles were performed over the course of the evenings: "Brasilia," "Chasin' the Trane," "Chasin' Another Trane," "Greensleeves," "Impressions," "India," "Miles' Mode," "Naima," "Softly, as in A Morning Sunrise," and "Spiritual." Many were performed multiple times using varied line-ups and instrumentation, the core being the Quintet of Coltrane, Eric Dolphy, McCoy Tyner, bassists Reggie Workman or Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones.
The authorship of "Miles' Mode," also known as "Red Planet," is in dispute, attributed to Dolphy rather than Coltrane. A single-disc sampler containing the five tracks released on Live! at the Village Vanguard and Impressions was issued on February 24, 1998, as Live at the Village Vanguard: The Master Takes.
