Kulu Sé Mama is an album by jazz musician John Coltrane. Recorded during 1965, it was released in early 1967 as Impulse! A-9106 (AS-9106 for the stereo version). The title piece and "Selflessness" were recorded in October 1965 and feature a large ensemble including Sanders, Garrett, Butler and Lewis. The other tracks, "Vigil", "Welcome" and "Dusk Dawn", feature the "classic quartet" (Coltrane, Jones, Garrison and Tyner). "Kulu Sé Mama" was composed by Juno Lewis, and the other titles are credited to Coltrane. "Selflessness" was first released on the posthumous album Selflessness: Featuring My Favorite Things, and "Dusk Dawn" was first released on the posthumous album Living Space. Kulu Sé Mama was the last album released during Coltrane's lifetime.
