Coltane Track - Which Album?

On the radio this morning was John Coltrane playing 'Naima', but it was not the studio version. It was live, sounded like a small club, and someone - I believe Coltrane - was playing what sounded like a Bass Clarinet. I only caught part of it, but I think there was an Alto horn in there too. Anyone have any idea what album this is from?

I don't think it was bootleg. It sounded like a very good recording, even in the car. I believe it was one bass clarinet and one sax. I thought he sax sounded alto, but it could have just been the upper register. There was no third wind instrument.

I'll look into the Vanguard set.

Naima is on the '66 Village Vanguard Again record, but not on the '61. Is that what I want or is there an expanded version of the '61 release?

Yep, indeed it is the Complete Live at the Vanguard set. The recording is nicely done and, as CDs go, the sound quality is excellent. (I'm typically a vinyl guy)The track in question is on the first disc. Thanks for everyone's help.
