@@stephensweeney4385 Man... I don't know... I guess because it was made as a suite, like a classical piece of Mozart and others. And Elvin's latin drum conduction... I really don't know how to explain it lol I can say to you that "A Love Supreme" is STILL another music level... one octave higher...
just listened to this album for the first time today ... it's insane how magical it still sounds. the drumming in particular, feels like it comes from another dimension.
Worthwhile comments on A Love Supreme. The recording session for A Love Supreme was improvised with only a one page listing on a sheet of paper indicating how each of the four songs was to be played. Amazing Trace. Truly amazing.
Contrary to some opinions, things like this don't have to be understood to be fully appreciated. I was 17 years old when I first heard this record on a late-night CBC jazz radio program (thank you Katie Malik). To this day, A love Supreme gives me chills. Do I understand it? Probably not to the degree of the "experts" on the thread. Do I get it? Much like I get the pleasure/joy that the sunshine, ocean, wildlife brings, yup. Peace
I pray the universe gives me a chance to listen to this glorious album one last time as I lay dying, waiting for the next chapter. That would be a good way to go.
@@djjerome heard that lots of times i think its funny! People are amazed when i say my fav band is Pink Floyd and my fav artist is Tom Waits, Kate Bush, Bob Dylan, David Bowie. People are even more amazed when i say i love Coltrane and Miles Davis!
I've been playing Guitar for many years .. I listened to the Love Supreme for the first time today .. I think I need to listen again .. its kind of fascinating lol
At some point, A Love Supreme is going to be analyzed from other than a Christian perspective. The fact is in his poem, liner notes or however you refer to them, Trane made no mention of Christ, only God, only God. Trying to understand this masterpiece without recognizing this fact is critical. There was no mention of one in three or anything that speaks of a trinity. The oneness of God, the creator and sustainer of creation, is his (Coltrane’s) focus and the inspiration for his improvisation and the message he was trying to creatively and artistically convey. Trying to place this in the context of a country preacher, a sermon, a call and response like a church renders it to be more emotional than spiritual. I humbly suggest that anyone interested to explore the oneness and preeminence of God as expressed in Islam. That concept is called ‘tawheed’ in Arabic and was not only the concept expressed here but was the name of a famous album by Phatoah Sanders ‘Tawhid’ one of the two Coltrane sidemen along with McCoy Tyner who were indeed Muslim.
best to assume it was a bad keystroke. I can't live on a planet with someone who would give this a thumbs-down, But at the same time, Free-dumb allows morons to have opinions too.
Coltrane presented a small part of his philosophy in an interview in Japan. He said that he was raised with Christian traits but then he said; I quote: “I believe all men know the truth.” And that to ME is a very eastern way of putting it. To me that line quote sounds like Taoism or maybe some sort of Buddhism. And those religions can be interpreted very widely sooo. His philosophy was that all men know the truth, which to me is far away from religion, more closer to present.
No, Coltrane was in a deep spiritual searching at that time, mainly with hindu classics, but also we can recognize his own Christian uprising and the Islamic ascent in the black american community of that era.
@@nasirhill really? I just asked my father (louis armstrong) and he said that it wasn’t. rewatch the video, a love supreme is dedicated to divinity and universality, not a definitive God.

Listen to "On Impulse!: John Coltrane": impulse.lnk.to/impulse60coltraneID
I was born on 8 Dec 1964 and this album was recorded within the same 48 hour period, so I always think of it as "my album". Truly spiritual. Genius.
Me, as a drummer, I had to say that "A Love Supreme", as a whole, CHANGED my life completely!
It did the same for me as a saxophonist
I would like to discuss how it did the same for you as a drummer
That is my second instrument

That's awesome
Check out Newport 63 Impressions
They all drop out except Elvin because they get lost
They had a very special musical relationship
@@stephensweeney4385 Really lol the most incredible albums Coltrane recorded was with McCoy, Jimmy and Elvin, one of my main influences
Dude are you near Boston let's jam
Stands with the greatest American compositions of all time. Transcends and unites Jazz and Classical music. A work of inspiration and genius.
This gotta be THE sublime experience.
Often imitated.
Never duplicated.
Thank you, Mr Coltrane, for such a timeless masterpiece.
just listened to this album for the first time today ... it's insane how magical it still sounds. the drumming in particular, feels like it comes from another dimension.
Simply and truthfully the greatest musical achievement of Humankind 🙏
Praise to God...how beautiful ❤️🙏 Thanks to Mr. Coltrane
The opening of Acknowledgement is what a Sunrise would sound like
first album my parents gave me
That's some parental guidance right there.

I don't fully understand it but it must be great .Coltrane was operating on a different level.

@@livy1962 I feel the same way.

Preaching, teaching, and reaching- the Love Supreme, the Love Supreme. All hail the Love Supreme !

i listened to this album on high doses of psychedelics, God was the player and coltrane was the instrument
One of the greatest albums of all time
This album is a part of my life

Well read, and well said Carl.
Coltrane was more of a Cosmist, or possibly a pantheist. He transcended the Abrahamic religions.
@@MiqelDotCom he transcended all "isms" and was after something expressly his own.
@@JS-dt1tn There is nothing that transcends the divine unity of The Lord of the Worlds.

Man, that was excellent! Very worthy presentation. Wow
Beautiful
What a beautiful African proverb.
Extraordinary.

Maybe the person was holding their phone upside down?
@@livy1962 There should be a law against stupidity & ignorance. What a great world it would be!
Not everyone has to be a fan of jazz and every human being has their right to express their opinion.

@@Tiessie ask an og jazz musician. My father was one of said types of people btw.

rewatch the video, a love supreme is dedicated to divinity and universality, not a definitive God.
@@MarvelousMaxter i don't even know how to respond to that other than by wishing the best for you.
Overrated album. Coltrane done better albums. Shepp's contribution in this album is a joke.
lol What an embarrassing thing to say.
Art/Music history without Coltrane is like saying music history without Mozart.
The hole left without John Coltrane's contribution to modern music is unimaginable.
All music would sound different.
