Free Music Review: Mere Words Are Inadquate to Describe This Incredible Work of Art
Hit: 5 Stars
I have the deluxe edition that includes the Antibes performance of A Love Supreme as well as that "lost" recording with Archie Shepp and Art Davis. I don't think this additional material is all that necessary unless you are a student of this man's music.
The actual release "A Love Supreme" is a recording that belongs in every serious music collection. This is wonderful, inspired music. It is the pinnacle of Coltrane's career, no question. Everything about Trane's music changed from this point forward. A Love Supreme is a summation of all his previous work and an introduction to the music to come. It is probably the most sincere, heartfelt work ever release by a "jazz" musician, perhaps any musician.
There are two recordings in post-bop jazz that transcend everything else. 1. Kind of Blue
2. A Love Supreme
If you are a musician, the Lewis Porter biography is an essential companion to A Love Supreme. It contains detailed analysis of Trane's approach to improvisation on this masterwork.
One amazing fact about this release is that it was put together with very little rehearsal and preparation. The music was not fully written out for that matter. Given this information, it's amazing how PERFECT this recording and the performances of all of the musicians, both collectively and individually really is.
In summary, A Love Supreme is one of America's finest contributions to world culture and a high point in the creative spirit of humanity. What more can be said?
A Love Supreme Poster
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 SternJazz Music CDs
