Listened to this album as a 15 year old, and loved every bit of it. Now, as a 72 year old, it's still as good as it was then. Thanks for sharing!😎

This is my 1st time & I'm 43 smoking a J sitting by the window watching the rain. I listen to Alice Coltrane so I figured why not. I'm not from the Jazz background & my parents were more Anita, Luther, Stylistics type of people. I lean more towards Wu Tang 🤭 So finding music like this is a gem Blessings to you & yours 😊✌🏾✊🏾📯🎹🎺🎸🥁🎶🎵🎶🎶

I watched him perform "A Love Supreme " at The IT Club in Los Angeles, California summer of 1965. It was electrifying to say the least. My late husband was a musician and we hit all the jazz joints on his night off.The IT club was like a "hole in the wall" but the best jazz musicians hang out there .Wonderful memories from a 78 year young 💖🎷🎶

I am a little younger than you, 67. I was too young to have seen JC, but in 71 or 72 I saw Pharoah Sanders in Houston at La Bastille. This energy flowed through and was modified in the most amazing way by him ... it changed the way i experienced everything ...

Yes! One day 6 years ago I was listening to it in my little room on the edge of Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan on the Montana border. I decided I would play it for the herd of bison in the park and drove up and started to play it in my car, nice and loud. The whole herd moved toward me, until I got a little spooked and drove away. But I will always treasure that moment of interspecies music appreciation. Peace, and safety to you, to all of you out there, wherever you are, we are all alone in this together!

One Christmas, in the afternoon, I went around to his house and he played this to me. Wanting to educate me to proper jazz. The next year, I went round to his house on the same day. Anyway, I asked to listen to it again and he said, no, but as a present he said I will give you the album. It was an original copy from 1965, on Impulse records. I still have it but, I has version on CD that I listen to. This music is special. Very special.

Fr, this album and My Fav Things Pt 1 + Summertime off that album are like ecstacy to my ears. I love every minute of every shower in the morning now. These days, every time I cook or clean or have to do any task, Coltrane is my new right hand man 😂 Certain Jazz musicians have such a transcendental and natural feel for the notes and the directions to take at any given moment, that even upon first listening, I felt this eerie familiarity as though these were fundamental ideas in music that have existed long before even any human "composed" it; as if to some fundamental part of my soul that might even predate me, it was familiar and only briefly forgotten in this life... Only other place I get that feeling is when studying maths and discovering a new mathematical fact and integrating that fact into intuition, it suddenly feels as if that idea in that part of my brain has "awakened" and was somehow already there, perhaps the previous soul that occupied my vessel forget it behind...strange and beautiful feeling, really.

25:47 A Love Supreme I will do all I can to be worthy of Thee O Lord. It all has to do with it. Thank you God. Peace. There is none other. God is. It is so beautiful. Thank you God. God is all. Help us to resolve our fears and weaknesses. Thank you God. In You all things are possible. We know. God made us so. Keep your eye on God. God is. He always was. He always will be. No matter what…it is God. He is gracious and merciful. It is most important that I know Thee. Words, sounds, speech, men, memory, thoughts, fears and emotions - time - all related … all made from one … all made in one. Blessed be His name. Thought waves - heat waves-all vibrations - all paths lead to God. Thank you God. His way … it is so lovely … it is gracious. It is merciful - thank you God. One thought can produce millions of vibrations and they all go back to God … everything does. Thank you God. Have no fear … believe … thank you God. The universe has many wonders. God is all. His way … it is so wonderful. Thoughts - deeds - vibrations, etc. They all go back to God and He cleanses all. He is gracious and merciful…thank you God. Glory to God … God is so alive. God is. God loves. May I be acceptable in Thy sight. We are all one in His grace. The fact that we do exist is acknowledgement of Thee O Lord. Thank you God. God will wash away all our tears … He always has … He always will. Seek Him everyday. In all ways seek God everyday. Let us sing all songs to God To whom all praise is due … praise God. No road is an easy one, but they all go back to God. With all we share God. It is all with God. It is all with Thee. Obey the Lord. Blessed is He. We are from one thing … the will of God … thank you God. I have seen God - I have seen ungodly - none can be greater - none can compare to God. Thank you God. He will remake us … He always has and He always will. It is true - blessed be His name - thank you God. God breathes through us so completely … so gently we hardly feel it … yet, it is our everything. Thank you God. ELATION-ELEGANCE-EXALTATION All from God. Thank you God. Amen.

yeah it's on such a different level you can actually sound good too just playing quartal voicings and go wild with your right hand

[@WillsJazzLoft]

@@lupash yeah I only figured out exactly how to play those quartals back in 2000. I read one of those tutorials that they had in Keyboard magazine for McCoy Tyner after that I learned the fabled 'So What' chord structure ( you know the one that has an M3 as the top interval ) and the rest is history. Practical application has been more the challenge. I can know how something sounds. And yet, I may not always know where it sounds good.

[@laurentlemoing6338]

Probably the most important and beautiful piece of music written in the 20th century. A masterpiece from the master of the saxophone and the spiritual jazz. This is food for the mind and for the soul !... I listen to couple of Trane's album when I was 16, and wasn't ready for it. Then at 24, I started to practice my tenor sax playing on "Coltrane's Sound" & "My Favorite Thing" albums ; Coltane's voice has been haunting me since. I am 56 now, and I wish that like Miles Davis, Coltrane could have lived another 25 or 30 years to bring more beautiful music and spirit to the wold.

[@GjaP_242]

“A Love Supreme” has a lyrical, emotional quality. The suite swells ecstatically and hushes dramatically. It has the conversational cadences of a prayer, and the transcendent quality of a dream. The final movement, “Psalm,” was conceptualized as a musical recitation of a devotional poem included in the liner notes. Each emphatic, incandescent tone from Coltrane’s horn is a syllable uttered in supplication to a higher power. [WBUR] 10:01

Dear Listener: All Praise Be To God To Whom All Praise Is Due. Let us pursue Him in the righteous path. Yes it is true; “seek and ye shall find.” Only through Him can we know the most wondrous bequeathal. During the year 1957, I experienced, by the grace of God, a spiritual awakening which was to lead me to a richer, fuller, more productive life. At that time, in gratitude, I humbly asked to be given the means and privilege to make others happy through music. I feel this has been granted through His grace. ALL PRAISE TO GOD. As time and events moved on, a period of irresolution did prevail. I entered into a phase which was contradictory to the pledge and away from the esteemed path; but thankfully, now and again through the unerring and merciful hand of God, I do perceive and have been duly re-informed of His OMNIPOTENCE, and of our need for, and dependence on Him. At this time I would like to tell you that NO MATTER WHAT…IT IS WITH GOD. HE IS GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL. HIS WAY IS IN LOVE, THROUGH WHICH WE ALL ARE . IT IS TRULY-A LOVE SUPREME--. This album is a humble offering to Him. An attempt to say “THANK YOU GOD” through our work, even as we do in our hearts and with our tongues. May He help and strengthen all men in every good endeavor… May we never forget that in the sunshine of our lives, through the storm and after the rain-it is all with God-in all ways forever. ALL PRAISE TO GOD. With love to all, I thank you, John Coltrane
