After some hinting, Sanders plays the melody, but moves away mid-phrase to further improvisation, returns to segments of melody periodically. After applause, Alice Coltrane begins to solo. Sounds much like a freer McCoy Tyner. Frequently alternating chords in left hand accompany rapid flourishes in right hand. Basically modal with frequent borrowed tones.
Sanders plays a prominently audible tambourine.
This Interlude continues slightly more true to earlier versions, but still with greater movement in bass and piano. With this statement, the piece returns to a form similar to earlier versions. Coltrane extends vamp before free closing section longer than in earlier recordings.
