Du beau jazz reste du jazz
I still don't know what to make of this. I'm not a fluent jazz listener, this is all new to me. At a loss about whether or not I like this. Resolution and Psalm were my favourite tracks. The saxophone feels prominent in both songs - in resolution it is fierece and solemn. In Psalm, the sax is rather more melancholic and brooding. Songs felt long but as an overall album it's short. Tight. Feels like I'm drowning in notes of music! The story behind the album is interesting as well. Torn between a 3 or 4 for this.
yo realmente nunca voy a ser una chica grande que ama el jazz y es algo que ya tengo aceptado
Idk, just didn't really grab me. Maybe it was the sound, maybe it was just a bad day. Either way. 2.5/5
Tengo que reconocer que no soy una persona de jazz, son pocos los discos de jazz que puedo disfrutar de principio a fin. Este tiene un sonido muy clásico, y sí, está espectacular, pero no creo que lo vuelva a escuchar. Otros discos de jazz que me ha tocado escuchar durante la realización de este reto me han gustado más; en ese sentido, para mí este es inferior, aunque está ridiculamente bien elaborado. Joya, pero no es para mí y siento que no pude conectar con él. Igual, es una verdadera joya.
This is another one I'm going to have to listen to multiple times and in the right mood. It's promising, but I get the sense it's a grower - I'll enjoy it more with a few late-night listens, when I can really focus on the twists and turns.
I liked the part where they start saying “a love supreme” 100 times right at the end of the first track, didn’t expect that Not the biggest fan of jazz but I like that it isn’t overly complicated or trying to be, it has a nice groove Good music to do nothing to, to think to, to do a random activity to Last track was real good!
Love Supreme - pizza- really a 2.5 too hectic
This was pretty intense, but I enjoyed it.
I really want to like, no, love classic jazz like this. I have tried many, many times. I get that it's good music. I like all the elements ... but there is something that doesn't quite click. I found this all a bit claustrophobic, somehow? There's a lot of stuff crammed in at times, musicians all being individually brilliant ... but at the same time. It's almost too much for my brain to unpack, and becomes a bit uncomfortable to listen to. So the 3 is my rating. I totally get why it's really a 5. But it's my list, not yours.
I am discovering jazz as I get old. This is quite intense and difficult for me as a newb but I like it. I like the way it starts of disjointed and rapid and by the last part it has become, particularly in the sax more of a plaintive soul crying out. Needs more listens on my long journey, but it's a fundamental of post war jazz.
The musicianship is great and the influence on music on the whole is undeniable, but jazz really does nothing for me.
I guess it's kinda nice for background music, but jazz is just not my thing. It's not bad; it just is.
Appreciate the artist. Album not for me
3.5
Like fine wine - in that I really don't understand it.
I don't know much about jazz, but I know what I like, and I like this. Not too edgy and a-melodic to be accessible. I would listen again.
Sweet. Nice. Jazz. It just flowed by me. Gossamer musical intensity.
Well, that was certainly jazz. Not my favorite, but not bad.
The album that Jazz Club on The Fast Show is based on. Great. Really great.
I liked it all right. I'm not a jazz guy but I liked this one much better than that Mungus one,
I’m just not a big fan of jazz
I liked this better than most jazz albums, but I still have a hard time fully getting into it.
Gear: Fostex TH610 Artwork: >9000🆒 Mix: 🎧😘🤌 Musik: Jazz Jazz Jazz! (aber vielleicht doch ein bisschen zu viel Jazz für mich) Wertung: 🎷🎷🎷(🎷)/5
Another jazz album that's pleasant to listen to but ends up becoming background music for me.
Big fan of Coltrane but this isn't my fave album of his by a long shot.
I usually enjoy Coltrane but some of the songs were a little too screechy for me
Just instrumentals but ok
Not my kind of jazz
I can admire the technical ability of this album, but it did nothing for me from an entertainment standpoint. Glad it was only 30 minutes.
Fue interesante explorar un nuevo genero, aunque senti que era mucho ruido y que en unas partes era muy saturado. Me gusto la experiencia del jazz pero no se si volveria a oir este album
I have mixed feelings about jazz. not something i really enjoy listening to through headphones. i prefer it on sunday mornings, in the backdrop.
I'm not really a jazz person, but it was interesting listening to this and hearing such an influential album!
to much jaaazzi for me
The musicianship is unquestionable. More of a criticism of me, really, but I felt on the cusp of understanding the music, but I may be too stupid to fully appreciate jazz. It was an enjoyable listen, though.
Jazz frenético y virtuoso.
Je nach Tagesform und -stimmung kann ich mir Jazz anhören. Dazu muss ich auch bereit sein. Gott sei Dank kenne ich dieses Album bereits und bin vor allem von Part 1 und 2 begeistert. Sehr gute und anspruchsvolle Produktion
good
Liked it but liked the other jazz album more, though I am not a jazz hater
3 feels high but 2 feels too low.
For all his allocades I didn't get it. Dissonance was too much
No my favorite jazz album, but there are certainly moments of brilliance. Part II is my favorite.
La crítica lo sigue calificando como uno de los mejores álbums de jazz grabados en estudio. Para mi gusto, poco habituado a la música jazz, los siete minutos del segundo corte, "Resolution", tienen una belleza turbulenta que hacen que me guste. El primer corte, "Acknowledgement" termina con Coltrane cantando y dotando al fragmento de una aura de miesterio. El disco acaba con "Psalm", un título que revela la ambición casi mística de Coltrane.
I’m pretty picky with my jazz and it’s probably bc I’m a dumb person in general. It sounded fine but I couldn’t imagine going to a live set and just being all stoked to be there bc they’re just kinda playing notes and I’m not gonna just stand around watching that. Pretty decent stuff though. 3.5 stars
The talent of the artists involved is evident. This genre of jazz is tough for me. I always feel like the performers are having more fun than I am.
Loved the jazz sound, a little heavy on the drums. 3
A little to 'out there improvisational jazz' for me; I often wonder if these are songs that could be performed again or if they're one off performances, like a modern synth jam. It was OK for in the background, with a few moments that raised it to a 3.
I went from damn I love the sound of a good sax . To that’s enough sax, thank you.
Some interesting Jazz influences that I almost recognize
part 2 is my fav
Not a Coltrane fan but it's pretty good. High 3.
Solid
I put on while making dinner and enjoyed the listen. Did seem a little disjointed at times but a good jazz album by a jazz master.
A much more entertaining jazz album than the last jazz album I heard on here. I enjoyed it
I love jazz but I’ve really struggled to connect with this one for some reason
I love the sound, love the idea, but cannot get into free jazz except as something completely background. It frustrates me that I can't hear a distinctive melody or progression. I get why free jazz freaks would love this though.
For a non-jazz person such as myself, this was actually okay! I can see why it's such a staple of the genre.
I know this is a classic jazz album. I couldn’t make it through all the way. I’m going to give it another listen tonight.
Coltrane is a great musician, but a half hour of uninterrupted jazz instrumental is a bit much for me. The whole thing is just 4 songs too. 6/10 Would I listen again? Maybe as background noise.
I'm realizing some things about jazz. I prefer piano to sax. And I can get down with jazz fusion, but this stuff - although important - might not be for me. Moments I appreciated: the piano driven middle section in Resolution, the drum intro to Pursuance and lightning quick piano bit after that. Less compelling: the unaccompanied bass solo outro on the same track. ** 1/2 but rounded up on artistic merit.
Whatchu no bout Coltrane
6/10 I like some of the melancholy runs. It relaxed me. some of the runs were just noise to me but I'm not a jazz fan. Of all the jazz I've heard this was pretty listenable 4-2-2024
feels like the city, feels like being a man, complexity, feels cool, feels like feelings
Was okay. Too much impro, but it’s jazz, yeah.
First album - thanks to Avi Schwab for the link to this site!
Good I guess? Maybe I'm a caveman but
Solid but unmoving jazz album
Am Stück recht anstrengend, aber ich hab's trotzdem gemocht.
I like it but it's generally busier than I like jazz to be.
I’ve tried, I just don’t get jazz. Everyone knows Coltrane is highly regarded so I don’t want to rate low so going middle of the road 2.5/5
So, I'll concede, I just don't get jazz. I know Coltrane is supposed to be the master, but this sounds like every other jazz thing I've heard. Obviously the musicianship is tremendous - these guys are professionals. But why is this better than any other jazz album? I listened to it twice just to see if I missed something on my first pass. It's good background music, I guess? But only in a coffee shop or something, because they go too hard with the horns to listen to this while studying or anything like that. I'll give it a 3 because I know I'm missing the point, so I don't want to go lower. It's not you, John Coltrane, it's me. But it's just not gonna work out.
I feel like I just had to be there, man 3.1/5
Back to time where music wasn’t so sterile and packaged. Jazz is not for everyone, but this a great album. A glass of very good whiskey would go well with it.
jazz is jus cooler when its live
I had heard the name lol Some pretty epic jazz on this album. Im typically more interested in smooth/easy jazz, but I enjoyed Contrane's talent-filled tunes. Look forward to more!
Good overall jazz album. I like Jazz, but I don't find myself going there very often.
Buon jazz, ma non a livello di altri standard del genere
I wonder if the failing is mine. I can agree that my childhood ineptitude for sport meant that I developed no comprehension of strategy in football, and so a whole vista to the game remains hidden from me. More relevantly, a contemporary appreciation of opera requires some investment, some education in how to appreciate it: you shouldn’t expect a nine-year-old to sit rapt through Tristan und Isolde. Even more relevantly, the musicianship of jazz, the focus on technique perhaps leaves it incomprehensible to those unable or unwilling to discuss the use of non-harmonic arpeggios. But I’ve tried to appreciate jazz. I’ve been to a jazz festival. I had a Miles Davis poster on my wall at uni. I even had this album. But this album, apparently one of the two most celebrated jazz albums (along with Kind of Blue), just isn’t jiving with me. It’s not sweeping me away, rendering me agog, flummoxing me with the power of its logic or leaving a cascade of butterfly kisses down my throat. It’s just some people playing instruments well. That’s all I can say. Yes, “playing instruments” is the most reductive definition one can give to all music, but a focus on technical displays often leads to chilliness. The shredded guitar solo, the Whitneyesque wooahooahooahoos, the jazz saxophonist demonstrating his knowledge of the seven diatonic modes: all are liable to leave the listener with frostbitten eartips. Maybe I should get some musical earmuffs, but right now, I just can’t be arsed. Oh, one thing that rankled with me: the constant claims to spirituality made about this album. The liner notes to A Love Supreme include a devotional poem, and the final movement Psalm has Coltrane playing the words on the sax, if you will. I am in no way a spiritual man. Spirituality is hokum, and all too often the mask of a con artist. So maybe there’s another layer to this which I don’t get. Still, permit me to reject the retort that my lack of full appreciation for A Love Supreme indicates I’m dead inside. I mean, I do appreciate the Happy Mondays, and that’s got to hint at the vestiges of some form of internal life, right? Writing about jazz is the fucking worst. Honestly, this only about 500 words and I’m absolutely exhausted. There is nothing interesting to write about jazz. Plenty of mates of mine say listening to jazz is the most boring experience conceivable, but I have my trusty counterexample and I ask them if they’ve ever tried to write about jazz. I need to come up with a stock response for jazz albums. Is writing about jazz the only function an AI’s good for? Ask it to bash out 500 words while I listen to something that genuinely inspires me. I’ve actually grown a little resentful of A Love Supreme, just because attempting to write about it is maddening. A Love Supreme? I’m feeling A Peevishness Lowly. NoRadio, signing off.
I get it. I just am not interested in jazz.
Ein Klassiker, aber die Hupe wird irgendwann ganz schön nervig.
TPAB
Cacophonous at times, but very good instrumentally.
Nice enough, but it just sort of noodles along. I imagine this could be a significant jazz album, but as I'm not a jazz aficionado that passes me by. 3/5
Gillar ändå jazz mer än jag tror
Is 3 the highest a jazz album can get?
Beautifully done, a pleasure to listen to.
Good for background listening but still jazz!
Good
Jazz
I like my jazz with energy. And this album does a decent job of delivering that.
That's not my taste in musik. But ok
Honestly, if this was distorted guitars and the like it would be just called noise
- Solid jazz, nothing much to say - Appreciate the short length
Smooth jazz is as smooth jazz does
I thought it was pretty good when I listened to it, but I've completely forgotten it now by review time.
If you love jazz, this is a powerful example of John Coltrane's work. Even if you don't love jazz, this makes for good background music at a social event. Scale: 5 - My absolute favorites. 4 - Albums I like. 3 - It was ok to listen to but I wouldn't seek it out. 2 - Didn't like. 1 - Absolute shit.
Great music, didn't love the channel mixing.
Недурно
3.4/5 Best Track: A Love Supreme, Pt. III - Pursuance
Jazz is toch meer een kunstvorm dan een muziekstijl voor mij, en dit is er eentje die mij wat minder raakt.
No está mal.
Its all very impressive, but lets face it, its a jam session
Second song is definitely my favorite. Not my style, but I appreciate the artistry.
Fantasic album, but instrumental jazz is not my jam. Clearly skilled musicians, especially the drummer. Song 3's drum solo was very impressive.
An interesting cycle of jams, which I enjoyed, but I get why many people would consider it annoying. As I listened, I was more focused on the piano and bass, which really revealed the unique chord progressions they employed. If any of these tracks came up in a random jazz playlist I would definitely listen again, but I likely wouldn’t seek out the album to listen to it in its entirety again.
I've never been into jazz but can see why this would be an important album for that genre.
Coltrane gets weird in all the right ways. This one took me to another place and time. Very brain stimulating.
Funky
Chill, didn’t fit my current work day, would be fun to listen to live, reminded me of Daniel
Good musicians, but it didn't engage me emotionally.
Very musically talented, but jazz isn't for me. I don't understand it or why it's good.
Fortunately, I WAS high enough to appreciate this album. At least in terms of jazz music. A lot of it felt like I was watching Jackie Brown or some blaxploitation film, but a man can only handle so much jazz at once. If I’m ever in the mood for this genre I’ll just go watch Whiplash or something.
Cool Jazz. Far away from smooth bar Jazz.
3.1/5
Something I would never have sought out.
Good album, if you like jazz. If you don't find yourself enjoying jazz, you might as well skip it because you will definitely find it boring. Had its moments, but not enough to leave me wanting for more. I might have to do a second listen.
I don't have much experience with Jazz. I feel like it is something that plays in the background. All in all not bad.
Not interested
Good stuff
Jazz isn't a genre I usually listen to. However I persisted with Love Supreme and I enjoyed it.
Blessedly short.
Good bath listen. But suppose it’s just not my cup of tea.
3/5 stars because the instrumentals are absolutely excellent,one ti8ng that stuck out to me was the really nice drum sounds in the background I would of liked a bit more vocals, but it almost doesn't need it as they are spoken through the saxophone work, pleasantly surprised as I don't really listen to jazz
Nice, I like Pt. III - Pursuance with the drums
Was my first jazz album I ever listened to and it was great music to write with but I wouldn't sit down and stop what I was doing to listen to it (jazz might still grow on me though so maybe in a few months I would rate it higher) so overall 3.2/5
More than 3, near 3.5. Good in Jazz perspective
Wat kan 'ie tuuteren he, Jandino Kolentrein. Het begin is eigenlijk best aardig, daarna wordt het bij track 3 toch wel wat zenuwachtig allemaal. Maar toch nog altijd liever dit dan bepaalde brouwsels van ome Miles.
Sympa mais album très court
Heavy. Maar mooi, zeker de eerste en laatste track. Voor mij soms te dense, niet altijd even grote fan van bvb de block chords van McCoy Tyner (wel een zotte solo in tweede song). Veel energie, soms te, maar super puur. Ik weet niet of ik het vaak zou opleggen maar ik zou er wel naar terugkeren. https://youtu.be/WO7zI-mTtZU?si=eCVZVqMujc2kNn1F
expected to listen this more
Jazzzzzz
Not something I'd listen to, but it was fine as background music.
Cacophonous
Was slay:)
not normally acquainted with jazz but found this quite relaxing from a beginners perspective. also after relistens felt that it was more impactful than usual as mostly instrumental music goes. average rating was due to the fact that the genre is not my personal favourite but i recognise why it can be influential
Very classy but more study music
Sounded noisy, was starting to get in on 3rd (high) listen. Will have to revisit.
Really amazing sax solos
coltrane is great but the sax is not my fave instrument. It's hard for me to sit through sax solos which is basically this entire album.
Scatterbrained.
Not too bad save for the freeform sections eliciting madness
- Ich stehe auf Jazz - Dieses Album war mir streckenweise zu wild/zu improvisiert - Wenige sehr geile Momente, viele gute. - Bin kein soo großer Fan von Saxophon-lastigem Jazz 2,5/5
This is a genre in which I attempt to find calm. The first track made me anxious, but the rest felt really nice. Easy record, straight to the point and pretty enjoyable.
I can tell that this is good jazz. I just don’t love jazz. But it doesn’t get better than Coltrane.
A four track album that runs under 35 minutes got my attention. Pressed play... and I liked it. The vibe goes from chill to frantic then a slow, rousing coda. One or more of these tracks is something that would suit a lazy Sunday morning or while cooking dinner. Overall: 7/10
Not a genre I know much about, but I liked the music.
Good Jazz Record! John Coltrane def one of the greatest Jazz Musician! 3.5/5
6/10
I really didn't care
Jazz. Interesting, a little chaotic.
Good jazz.
3-3.5 It’s an album I could listen to on repeat, partially because it’s performed well, but mostly because there isn’t any part of any song that is that memorable and sticks.
I wonder if the festival is named after this album? I’m presuming so! I’m alright with Jazz but not particularly excited by it. 3/5 - because not bad, but not so excited by Jazz to add it to my library.
Its jazz, John Coltrane is goated tho
Good, but I'm not much of a jazz man.
It’s jazz
There's a part with crazy saxophone, a part that sounds like Peanuts music, a part with some nice drumming. The rest just washed over me. It's fine jazz, a genre I don't really "get" like some people do. Favorite track: I like drums, so Pt. 3: Pursuance.
Really enjoyed this
Known before: no. Standouts: /
#1 - Pretty good actually. I'm not a huge fan of jazz, but I can see the appeal of people who like it in music like this. The chanting of 'a love supreme' at the end was a nice touch. #2 - Piano playing was excellent here. Good quality - and I mean this with all the nicety I can muster - background music. It's a level above 'I didn't hate it' and 'decent'. Enjoyable. #3 - The drum roll was really good. The cello (?) section at the end here too was nice. #4 - The title for this part 'Psalm' seems appropriate. I'm not a big fan of jazz and try to understand it, but I don't think it's for me. That being said, this was a nicely done album and I enjoyed parts of it. I guess if you like jazz you'll love this? It's a 3 for me.
Not a jazz fan, makes me feel like i'm in a hotel
I've never understood the hype on this one and I still done. The emperor does have on clothes. Each musician is in top form in this quintet and there are some truly fantastic moments. The drum solo kicking off Pursuance, the solo bass ending Acknowledgement and starting Resolution, and the vocals on Acknowledgement are all worth the price of admission. But none of it really works for me as a whole. The ideas develop sporadically and feel forced at times. The playing is disjointed within the ensemble. There is not a single line from Coltrane himself that feels like a thesis or expanded idea. It lacks so much in structure that I just don't have any anchor to care about where they take me. Are we returning to a status quo or have we changed? Do we yern for something more or are we satisfied. I've read the liner notes but from the music, fuck if I know. Psalm is the only track that feels like an actual moving piece of music and it just comes too little too late to make this piece feel meaningful. Don't get me wrong. This is great music but I never understood this as Coltranes masterpiece. It's not Blue Note or even Impressions. It sure as hell isn't Giant Steps. I was really hoping this listen would be the one where I get it, but I just don't.
Very good album, relaxing and great whilst working. I listened to some more songs by John and liked them even more.
I guess it's godlike jazz or something. I just have a hard time getting into classic jazz in general, not really my vibe but I can appreciate the skills
Not a jazz fan, but understand the craft involved.
Sounded hectic and chaotic to my untrained ear. Seemingly no melodies. As of a band of elite level musicians got together spontaneously to improve an album.
It's good, have listened to it several times before. Have to be in the mood for it, as it is not the most accessible listen.
I'd definitely listen again for the sax and the piano. I felt the drums were a bit too chaotic for me too often. I'm also just not really into drum solos. The bass solo was a welcome change after the chaos though. Part IV felt disjointed dispite being more calm.
Its jazz buts thats not a deal breaker, the first song is very high tempo jazz probably wont add this song to any playlists. After reading about the artists it integrates me that he made the album for god, kinda cool.
3/5. All jazz starts to become similar to me. The only differences being the tempo and instruments used. I did very much enjoy the numerous drum solos within this quick and tidy album.
listened to album
Jazz
Pretty cool
Not his best album but good blast from the past.
Instrumental, good to have it. 3
Jazz on level 10.
Very interesting, I've always wanted to listen to this! As jazz goes, it is on the more palatable end for me. Quite enjoyed it and well worth either a high 2 or a low 3.
Pretty nice
I’d heard of John Coltrane but never listened to him before. I had no idea it would be instrumental saxophone-led jazz. It was alright! I couldn’t really get too into it but I didn’t mind it.
I love jazz but Coltrane isn’t my favourite and this isn’t his best album. Not bad.
not bad, but music without lyrics that isn't upbeat doesn't hold my attention for very long
Like a lot of jazz albums, seem to start off great before descending into a bit of boredom. The solos in tracks 3 and 4 dragged on far too long. First two were alright. 2.5*
Definitely cool but also hard to understand. This is awesome jazz, but also so far away from the typical pop structure that it can be hard to fully get into a groove with it. I would definitely listen again, but I doubt I'll seek it out.
Pense que era blues pero es jazz, buen jazz
This was cool, I tried to put more of my attention into it to understand jazz. There's this really good bit on the third track. I wouldn't usually listen to this, but the skill is still definitely there.
I enjoyed listening to this one, but overall, instrumental jazz is not my genre of choice and I probably won’t revisit it.
Great album, loved the feeling
Good background music, but not something I would remember to intentionally put on.
Jazzy and enjoyable
De standaard-toeter- en pingeljazz. Vast heel goed, maar voor mij niet zo onderscheidend ten opzichte van wat we eerder al aan jazz hebben aangehoord.
Een standaard kelder-jazz plaat. Het hoort natuurlijk bij het genre. Maar voor mij soms net te vrij. Dan staat de toeter of piano me net teveel buitenspel.
1/4, 25%
It grows on me every listen. Coltrane was def cooking something up on this one, still don't know exactly what it is though
Thought i was gonna hate re-listening to this album, but tbh it’s not bad. very nice to toss on whilst working
Beautiful album for jazz, but not something i really love to listen to on repeat. I would respect to watch live but not really more, and thats hard to say
Good jazz 3.5
This was good but I suspect my aural palate needs a bit of training on jazz...
Ja... wat moet je hier mee. Ik denk dat je meer van Jazz moeten weten om het te kunnen begrijpen.
Ik denk dat ik gewoon echt heel erg weinig van jazz snap?? Veel dingen overgeslagen omdat het me op de zenuwen werkte maar sommige dingen ook ontzettend mooi. Wellicht is deze week niet de week voor mij om te luisten, alhoewel ik de radio dus weer een stuk fijner en makkelijker vind!
In this project I have had to reevaluate my appreciation for jazz as I have heard so many incredible albums that I have truly enjoyed. Sadly, this wasn’t one of them. Perhaps I missed something. I read all the praise for this album but I didn’t hear what they did. I will say that I thought Part 4 was quite beautiful, but it took a while to get there.
I was looking forward to this one as I know it's widely regarded as Coltrane's masterpiece. I can appreciate the musicianship on display for sure. Every member clearly a master of their instrument. I think it's just my relationship with jazz in general but when the pieces drift apart or delve into atonal sound, I enjoy it less overall. Maybe after subsequent listens I will warm to it more.
first time listening
I don’t enjoy jazz. It was very honky in the beginning, but got tolerable.
Nice cool sax
Jazz is hard for me to rate. There are to many doodledtdoos on this for me to really enjoy it. But that doesn't mean it's bad.
Jazz 🕴️
A cruisy listen on a relaxed Saturday afternoon. Some nice jazzy sax.
I'd like to like this music more than I do, but the wild note choices Coltrane goes for in a lot of his music sounds more miss than hit to me.
I know this is a classic but I prefer Coltrane's quieter music.
pretty good for jazz definitely something that I could imagine myself zoning out to 3.5
Yea nice enough
Quite special this one. Not easy listening, but with interesting great elements
It's a nice album to have on in the background, something that you'd be cooking to. Final song on the album is great.
Not bad but got a bit jarring towards the end
Hell yes. Classic.
enjoyable enough
Was okay. Don't remember much of the melodies. Heard before. A love supreme A love supreme A love supreme A love supreme
Very nice, just as I expected.
This kind of music makes me nervous. I understand the poetry and fascination but I really need to skip this one. One track is enough.
John Coltrane's A Love Supreme is like the Energizer bunny of jazz albums - this dude just keeps on going and going! I mean, seriously, the way Coltrane's saxophone just spirals and spirals, you can practically feel the energy coming off the record. It's like he found the musical equivalent of the Fountain of Youth and just never looked back. And what's even more impressive is that this album was recorded in a single session. Can you believe it? One moment, Coltrane's just noodling around on his horn, and the next he's blowing minds with one of the most iconic jazz albums of all time. So if you're looking for a musical pick-me-up that'll keep you going all day (or night), look no further than A Love Supreme. John Coltrane's got the magic touch, and he's not afraid to use it!
Supreme
I was so bored listening to this I’m sorry I know that probably hurts your soul.
Accomplished but not for me
ok. but overrated??
Alright
Technically very good, I unfortunately don’t have the attention span for jazz 😞
мало слушала, но кажется слышала раньше. сопроводила книгой про бейсбол, было полное американское погружение) духовые всегда хорошо!
I'm not a jazz person so a little hard to comment on this for me. I liked that it was not completely freeform and of course the horns are great, but overall this is background music to me.
Jazz, I feel nothing special about jazz
En av de første platen jeg hørte med heftig jazz. Helt koko med trommekombo
Coltrane was a master of his craft, but this just doesn't appeal to me.
Hard core jazz, the type of jazz music that made jazz fall out of fashion
First jazz album, very chill and easy to revise to
Good but definitely an active listen
Didn't expect it to be quite so frantic.
Hyvää taustajazzia. En pysty jazzia oikeen kauheesti arvostelemaan muuten kuin että soittaminen on kyllä ihan hullulla tasolla
I'm not a jazz guy. I lack the context of the times when this was released, and I suppose don't appreciate It for what it was at the time. Part IV was pretty good though.
As a smooth-brained popular music enthusiast, I don't know how to listen to this. I've watched a lot of Adam Neely videos, too, and I still can't crack the code.
Sikkert nice til sitt bruk, huske kje
Een van de weinige jazz platen die ik vroeger luisterde
3.5 Know it well
Is this jazz?
It’s not my kinda thing but was enjoyable and I can’t deny the talent 3/5.
John Coltrane was a jazz saxophonist from the 60's. He got his start as a sideman for Miles Davis before heading out on his own in 1957. Coltrane pioneered a playing technique called "Sheets of Sound", which consisted of a saxophonist playing a flurry of notes on his tenor within the confines of a few chords. A Love Supreme is a dedication by Coltrane to God, as a thank you for blessing him with his gift of music. That being said, there was a very personal, intimate touch to this album. On this record, Coltrane had paired up with bassist Jimmy Garrison, pianist McCoy Tyner, and drummer Elvin Jones. What I enjoy about this record is that each artist is given a solo with which to showcase their skills. The drummer in particular was insanely skilled! Overall, this record wasn't bad. Jazz isn't my favourite type of music, and sometimes it just felt like each artist was playing whatever they wanted, instead of keeping things cohesive like a band should, but even still it wasn't bad. The artistic talent on this album is crazy! Favourite song: A Love Supreme Part 1: Acknowledgement Least favourite song: A Love Supreme Part 3: Pursuance 3/5
Smooth
Nice jazzy album
Could have this music in the background and wouldn’t bat an eye. Not for me in long sessions though
I didnt connect with it, but i generally like jazz so i think i should try it again another time
I hate to say this but not smart enough musically I feel to "get" this one. It works for me as great non-distracting sound in the background, but to sit and listen to it, makes me feel kind of dumb...not getting what is happening here and it is obviously influential. So going very safe and middle of the road scoring on this.
Enjoy the overall vibe, the improvisation and the mad drums. I typically prefer a bit more of an underlying structure.
4 songs that all sound the same, just jazz, not much else to say
Finnish reviewwer.. see translatio belouw..google..kääntäjä.. Musta poika musiikkia.. Jahas.. ALKAA KYLLÄ NIIN HURJAN VAHVASTI! Alkaa pelottaa.. ne mustat pojat.. täytyykö kaikille antaa... täydet pisteet.. tämmöstäkö tämä MUSTA POIKA MUSIIKKI ON!! ainakin nykymaailmassa näyttää olevan näin.. Sitten onneksi.. alkaa olla niin toistokasta.. Kuivaa taitelua.. albumi joka viestii jotain... ei kuuntelualbumia... lauleskellaan saksofonilla jumala (ei kristillinen jumala vaan maailman eri uskontojen jumala -🤓) teemainen runo... Lyriikat albumin takakannessa.. jaha.. No spotifyssä ne näkyy videolla... TEKNOLOGIA! huudahdan.. huusin... "Lyhyen intron jälkeen basso alkaa soittaa kuuluisaa Love Supreme -kuviota, jonka päälle Coltrane soittaa julistavia melodioita jotka etäisesti muistuttavat etelän mustien kirkkojen saarnaajien saarnatyyliä" "Resolution”-jakso alkaa Coltranen esittelemällä teemalla, jotka seuraavat teeman kehittelyjä intialaisen raga-musiikin tyyppisesti." "Coltrane begins a solo. He plays variations on the motif until he repeats the four notes thirty-six times. The motif becomes the vocal chant 'a love supreme' " Paskalla kielellä sanottu.. minä selitän... mollissa.. muista se poika.. du pää dä pää du pää dä pää du pää dä pää du pää dä pää du pää dä pää du pää dä pää a love supreme a love supreme a love supreme NOIN SE MENEE! Black boy music.. Jahas.. IT STARTS SO FREAKING STRONG! It's starting to scare me.. those black boys.. do I have to give everyone... full marks.. is this what this BLACK BOY MUSIC IS!! at least in today's world it seems to be like this.. Then luckily.. it starts to be so repetitive.. Dry art.. an album that communicates something... not an album to listen to... let's sing on the saxophone god (not the Christian god but the god of different religions of the world -🤓) themed poem ... The lyrics on the back cover of the album.. jaha.. Well, on spotify they can be seen in the video... TECHNOLOGY! I scream.. I screamed... "After a short intro, the bass begins to play the famous Love Supreme pattern, over which Coltrane plays evangelistic melodies that remotely resemble the preaching style of preachers in black churches in the South" "The 'Resolution' section begins with a theme introduced by Coltrane, which follows the theme's developments in the Indian raga music type." "Coltrane begins a solo. He plays variations on the motif until he repeats the four notes thirty-six times. The motif becomes the vocal chant 'a love supreme' " Said in crappy language.. I'll explain... du head dä head du head dä head du head dä head du head dä head du head dä head du head dä head a love Supreme a love Supreme a love Supreme THAT'S HOW IT GOES!
Certainly a masterpiece, but Coltrane's sound can also become a little exhausting.
I still don't know if I can say I like jazz. I'll start to like a song, then they play the same 4 notes 18 times in a row. Oh well.
it was okay, very jazzy. not my type of music but it was still good.
Nice background music. I'm too much of a plebe to appreciate much jazz.
Heretical I know. Not five stars. Not my favourite Coltrane album (Blue Train all the way). It's about this point that the idea of John Coltrane becomes so powerful that it's impossible to judge the music objectively.
Jazz isn’t something I listen at all really, and while I think I like this, I just don’t have the ear to hear what sets this apart from the rest.
I enjoy jazz overall, but only as background music in most scenarios. This was good background music.
Listened to one song, realized what it was trying to accomplish.
Yo where the hell is this lease? Starting to get concerned
good album; easy listening
i enjoy jazz and a love supreme contained covered quite a few subgenres of jazz! it was an enjoyable listen and coltrane was rather talented. but i can't pretend to know and understand jazz enough to hear the subtle aspects for themes, though. for that reason, the album was good but average to me. i have heard other jazz albums on this list i liked much more.
Didn't love it, didn't hate it
I loove supreme luxury brand😍😍
it's good
I thought it was OK. I don't really "get" jazz and I likely never will. I just know what I like and what I don't. I just don't really know how to appreciate the genre I guess. I know it's a classic to many but it's a 3 for me. I don't know what else to say. Sorry, jazz heads?
Pleasant listening but I can't get too excited by this kind of thing.
Great album
Rather a brainy musical experience - definitely not a mellow jazz record. There’s a lot to let your teeth sink into if you’re a muso - if you’re not you’re kind of left behind. Still some stunning musicianship.
I love the title song but really only recognised it towards the end. I appreciate the musicianship but I find this type of jazz all starts to sound the same. It was listenable but that’s all, for me. 2* seems harsh so I’ll go with a low3*
Groovy title riff. Good piano and drums. Movements 1 & 3 seem most accessible. Some of Coltrane’s sax playing feels unfocused. I really only want to hear the Will Downing pop/soul inspired single!
Не моя музыка
If I loved jazz, I'm sure I would've loved this...
I know this is genius, but I am not into it.
-Actually gets to a solid level of jam with the sax and drums about halfway through "Pt. III - Pursuance" -It is kinda boring for like 15 minutes, then cool for 5, then boring for the next 10. Bad ratio, dude
good jazz. coltrane could be someone I'd listen to more.
Yes I've heard of John Coltrane, and I've heard of A Love Supreme. I don't know if I've ever heard anything by Coltrane before. I know people really admire and love this album, but I don't understand Jazz well enough to hear what others hear. The album was okay, but didn't spark my curiosity.
I am sure that if you are a jazzer, this is fantastic, but it is too dense for my shallow tastes..
Nice to listen to, but I wouldn’t be putting it on often.
Again, felt like I was in a bookstore or coffee house…but every now and again it went a little crazy!
It was nice background music, I didn't mind it.
Probably good but not my style at all.
Babbidy babbidy
To unsettling
Another great jazz classic that I enjoyed, but largely went over my head. Whilst it's beyond doubt that John Coltrane plays his saxophone REALLY well, I'm not musically literate enough to discern the "deep spirituality with religious subtext" from the saxophone tootings and drum clatterings. Having said that I really like Pt.1 - Acknowledgement. The big gong crash at the start and the chanting at the end are really cool. Rating: 3/5 Playlist track: A Love Supreme, Pt.1 - Acknowledgement Date listened: 09/05/22
Just didn't really do it for me. I know he's great. But yeah, it just didn't get me going
Robert nous a pris par surprise en envoyant dans le générateur un album de Supreme Love Jazz dont cet individu est l'unique représentant. Le problème avec ce style de musique est qu'après avoir été habitué à entendre de l'Ultra Sexual Soul par l'intermédiaire de Marvin Gaye, on n'est plus vraiment friand de douceur et de sentiments mais plutôt d'animosité et de relations sans lendemain.
Very good jazz. It stretches my taste when listening
More jazz. nice enough
A solid jazz album... Not my thing but was nice background
it's not the season for skitty jazz - but recognise i might like this one season
I wish I liked jazz more. The musicianship is flawless, but I just find the content dull. Please don't take my opinion seriously. This just isn't my kind of thing.
Exceptional horns the whole way through and love the piano on track 2
3.4 - great jazz album with amazing brass and some rocking, if sometimes discordant and settling drums
it's Jazz, It's good. I keep hearing that mantra running through my head... A Love Supreme, A Love Supreme, A Love Supreme... I'm going to ever understand Jazz or what makes this album good compared to other Jazz albums. I do know that I enjoyed this one and I am glad stuff like this is on the list. Maybe someday I will understand Jazz more. 3/5
better Jazz than the other recent albums
Sounded like impressive jazz but definitely background music for me
2/24/22 Good background music and really nothing more. Can’t get into the jazz vibe but I appreciate each song for being a unique piece. Could definitely track a “story” throughout the album.
