John Coltrane : A Love Supreme - Deluxe Edition

 

Genre: Jazz

Dates: 1964-1965

Perhaps the most intense spiritual music ever recorded in America, surely the only piece of music to inspire the founding of a church. Tenor soxophonist Coltrane wrote A Love Supreme as a gift of gratitude to God, and it has the power to convert listeners not just to jazz but religious belief—I kid you not. All four members of the quartet play at an elevated level; student drummers who have never heard Elvin Jones may have their heads rearranged. The second disc of this package includes the only recorded live version of the piece, as well as rejected segments of the studio recording made with additional musicians.
