SYNOPSIS

John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme, released in 1965 on Impulse! Records, stands as one of the most profound statements in modern jazz. Recorded in just one session with his classic quartet, featuring McCoy Tyner on piano, Jimmy Garrison on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums, the album is both a spiritual declaration and a musical breakthrough. Across its four movements, Coltrane channels his personal devotion into a suite that blends modal improvisation, avant-garde intensity, and deep gospel-like resonance. Widely regarded as his magnum opus, A Love Supreme not only redefined the boundaries of jazz but also cemented Coltrane’s legacy as an artist who elevated music into a form of prayer.
