John Coltrane - A Love Supreme John Coltrane
A Love Supreme is John Coltrane’s masterpiece. Ratliff views this 1965 album as “the fulcrum of his career, setting the outline for understanding both his past and future work.”
A Love Supreme consists of four parts: “Acknowledgement”, “Resolution”, “Pursuance” and “Psalm”. It begins with the bang of a gong which is acts as a welcome or for some, a call to prayer. Through his horn, Coltrane speaks like a preacher and plays the words of his poem printed on the album’s back cover. Tyner and Garrison revolve around the nexus of Coltrane and Jones’ telepathic musical interplay and outwardly projected intensity is balanced by introspective moments of reflection. The listener is even treated to the sound of Coltrane’s voice, chanting at the end of the album’s first suite.
