Beyond A love supreme : John Coltrane and the legacy of an album
Whyton, TonyAuthor
Recorded by his quartet in a single session in 1964, John Coltrane's 'A Love Supreme' is widely considered one of the greatest jazz albums of all time. A significant record of Coltrane's transition from the bebop and hard bop of his earlier recordings to the free jazz style perfected throughout the rest of his career, the album is also an embodiment of the deep spirituality that characterised the final years of his life. This book explores both the musical aspects of 'A Love Supreme', and the album's seminal importance in jazz history.
