Music reviews of A Love Supreme
Music Review: This should be compulsory listening
Rating: 5 Stars
These days John Coltrane is followed with an almost religious fervour, which is appropriate for someone who made quite possibly the greatest devotional music since the days of JS Bach. The secret of this is that the music never preaches at you but simply has Coltrane trying to musically describe his love for the almighty.
The highlight of this album is obviously Coltranes ultra-expressive tenor sax playing which was once famously described as "sheets of sound" but the playing of the rest of the quartet is also exquisite, especially Elvin Jones' incredible drumming. At a time when most music seems to be about bling and ho's here is music that is both virtuosic and speaks to its listeners personally. If you have any interest in jazz or want to listen to truly brilliant music you have to have this.
Description of A Love Supreme
The second in a series of John Coltrane's classic Impulse! albums which are restored, reissued and newly remastered. Digi-Pak packaging is re-creating from the original LP design.A Love Supreme is a suite about redemption, a work of pure spirit and song, that encapsulates all the struggles and aspirations of the 1960s. Following hard on the heels of the lyrical, swinging Crescent, A Love Supreme heralded Coltrane's search for spiritual and musical freedom, as expressed through polyrhythms, modalities, and purely vertical forms that seemed strange to some jazz purists, but which captivated more adventurous listeners (and rock fellow travelers such as the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, and the Byrds), while initiating a series of volatile, unruly prayer offerings, including Kulu Su Mama, Ascension, Om, Meditations, Expression, Interstellar Space. From the urgent speech-like timbre of his tenor, to the serpentine textures and earthy groove of Elvin Jones's drumming, Coltrane's suite proceeds with escalating intensity, conveying a hard-fought wisdom and a beckoning serenity in the prayer-like drones of "Psalm," where Jones rolls and rumbles like thunder as Garrison and Tyner toll away suggestively--all the while Coltrane searches for that one climactic note worthy of the love he wants to share. --Chip Stern
