About

A TAV Essential Listening Album.

The defining album of legendary American jazz saxophonist John Coltrane’s storied career, A Love Supreme is an prayerful paragon that is beyond reproach. Structured as a through-composed suite in four parts and delivered in praise of God - this modal, post-bop masterpiece is the sound of Coltrane’s spiritual awakening, existing in an exalted plane that few (in any) albums made before or since have been able to touch. Recorded with Coltrane’s classic quartet - Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner and Jimmy Garrison - A Love Supreme isn’t just technically experimental, it is emotionally and conceptually ambitious. From "Acknowledgement" to “Psalm”, Coltrane eloquently translates his personal journey from darkness to enlightenment through his chosen medium of free jazz. The result was a magnum opus of divine proportions.
