Free Music Notes for A Love SupremeFree Music Review: Very good Hit: 4 StarsThis album represented a shift on Coltrane's part to longer songs and looser song structures. Even though some people adore this album, I think it's merely "very good" because it doesn't grab me as strongly as some of his other stuff.
Free Music Review: Top 3 Jazz recordings of all time Hit: 5 StarsI wish I could give Coltrane's A Love Supreme more than five stars. This CD is simply unbelievable.Please don't be put off on how Coltrane feels about God. You don't have to share his belief to FEEL what he feels when his is at the saxaphone. You will and you will be moved by this music - you'll feel at a higher place - wherever that is for your beliefs. This CD is a must own for any fan of real Jazz.
Free Music Review: A true religious experience.. Hit: 5 StarsLet me get this out of the way; I am a pagan. I've been pretty discontent with religion since I was maybe 13 years old. But this was John Coltrane's way of praising God and getting his religious beliefs through. The liner notes were written by Coltrane and they explained his devotion to God, his music, and his fellow bandmates. Overall, this was an album sparked by faith. And if this is a way to pay tribute to God through music, then this is one touching album to do it. Parts of it actually leave me in awe for hours at a time, almost to the point of tears, and some of the music stays with me for long periods of time. If you can get an irreligious person to be moved by an album with a dogmatic message to it, then you've definitely accomplished something. The same cannot be said for bands like dc Talk, no offense against them.
John Coltrane has always been one of my favorite musicians ever, and his sax playing always floors me, the way Steve Howe from Yes does to me with the guitar. I feel his playing, as well as the others in the band (especially Elvin Jones' killer drum solo on Psalm 3). Every note of this album to me reflected his spirituality and there has never been another album that has expressed religious devotion so beautifully and so clearly than this one (though Genesis' 23-minute opus "Supper's Ready" comes close). To those who like passion with their religion; leave the Bible on the shelf, and listen ot his! God bless you Coltrane, and rest in peace!
Free Music Review: A SLICE OF HEAVEN Hit: 5 StarsWhat's better than "A Love Supreme"? I don't even have to elborate because "A Love Supreme" like "Kind Of Blue" is just PERFECT.Pure artisty and musicianship.This is music that calms you and heightens your creative wonderment.There's nothing better.There's nothing that I can say about Coltrane that already hasn't been said.A essential album.No musical collection can EVEN be called a musical collection without it.
Free Music Review: i'll make this short and sweet Hit: 5 Starsthe second track, "resolution", is probably my favorite song ever recorded. buy this album if you have any remote interest in jazz.
