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.
1965. Acknowledgement
I always like the idea of jazz more than I do actually listening to it. I don't think I'm sophisticated enough for it. This is very easy listening, gentle stuff, but it doesn't really grab my attention.
Nisan sigurna da san uživala, al nije loše
Lijepo ali mi nije nešto spektakularno zanimljivo pa eto
Disco en clave entera de jazz. Trompetistas, saxofonistas y piano. Nada de vocal. Escuchable para un ambiente y entorno íntimo
It’s jazz!
Até agora não sei se gostei ou não. Foi meu primeiro disco de jazz de todos os tempos. Estou um pouco atônita com a quantidade de barulhos, mas entendo a importância e o legado.
I just don't think I know how to quantify jazz albums.
Try as I might, I just can't get into most jazz. Some jazz (e.g. John Zorn doing the music of Ornette Coleman) I really hate, and some I kinda like. This was somewhere in the middle, probably leaning a bit more to the "I kinda like it" side of the scale. I can definitely appreciate his sax playing, but overall I find it hard to get into. 3 stars.
Jazzzz, afslappende, vild sax, improviseret
Chaotic. It is up to you this is good or not for you.
So to begin, I am not a jazz music listener. Never got into it. So this was an experience. Very interesting, sounds of random chaos that melds together and works well. Enjoyable, but not my cup of tea.
Full disclosure: I'm a punk and indie kid. My exposure to jazz has been limited to the little bursts of jazz guitar lines and polyrhythmic changes in mathcore bands (Dillinger Escape Plan!), what little insipid piano-and-sax tinkles is played in hotel lobbies and, in recent years, BadBadNotGood and Jeff Goldblum (because Jeff Goldblum). So when I began my foray into this recommended work of Mr John Coltrane, whose name I've only read in passing in guitar magazines, I went in with a skeptical mind; one not completely familiar with jazz, but at the same time not without the pockets of exposure to be considered a clean slate. That being said, I am not wholly unimpressed by A Love Supreme. The musicianship is top notch. Exciting, dynamic, technical but emotive. Without any structure or riff to latch on to, I find myself flitting from instrument to instrument, taking in turns the melodically dissonant piano chords, the seemingly chaotic cymbals and syncopated tippy-taps of the snare and of course, the sax work of Mr Coltrane itself. Little wonder of course, that the sum of these far exceed its parts. I am writing this as I give this album my second listen, and while I don't think I will have this in my regular rotation (I am listening to this on YouTube via an incognito Google window, so as not to tamper with my algorithm), I do find that I am the better for having given this album a try. Minor aside : I really didn't like the vocal interjection of "A Love Supreme". It seemed so out of place in what would've otherwise been seamless instrumental interplay.
Too much saxophone action. Would have been a nice album with just the jazz drums and piano. Sorry.
Personally I found this type of jazz to be too fast paced, listening to it was not relaxing or a joyful experience but it felt like one was being rushed and almost stressful. Objectively though it's a good album by a legendary artist so I'm giving this the standard 3 for world/others
First Jazz album on the list. I enjoyed it and would listen again from time to time.
This is repetitive and while I don't hate it, I also don't live it.
i dont understand jazz
I'm in no position to rate this album, so... 3?
first disc is good
Not really my cup of tea. I'm not sure I'm knowledgeable enough on jazz to properly review this album, but I didn't really dig it personally. A bit harsh for my taste. I'd give it 2.5 if I could.

Jazz instrumental. Un poco aburrido.
Incredible, but hectic and not enjoyable per se
I generally prefer Coltrane's earlier work. This is a little more challenging than I want to listen to on a regular basis but the musicianship is undeniable.
Jazzy!
Strano, da risentire.
Well, it’s jazz.
Mmmmmm. Jazz. Niiiiiiiiiiiiice.
Not ready for jazz?
It's fine
Nice jazz album,
Listened three times to this magnum opus now, and oh, how I wish I was more into jazz. This is packed full of great moments from a technical standpoint. The opening minute with the gong, shimmering cymbals and the ensemble slowly coming to life, before the emergence of that four-note bass refrain. The climactic chants towards the end of "Acknowledgement". The drum and double-bass solos that bookend the unhinged "Pursuance". And then the calming influence of "Psalm" with some of the most expressive, yearning sax playing I've ever heard. It all passes by very quickly and each movement is completely distinct, giving an obvious shape to the record. It's very cohesive and tightly focused... I just don't respond to it emotionally. Hearing albums like this, I switch from "excitable-emotive-listener" into "objective-music-historian" mode. It does make me sad that I might never "enjoy" jazz as much as I do pop or rock, but it's impossible for me not to appreciate its craft and significance, especially on repeated listens. Would I know this was a classic in the genre if not being told by this site and many other sources? Maybe not. Does my awareness of its status affect how I perceive it? Almost definitely. I am giving this 3* because even though jazz isn't really for me (yet), the musicianship is almost definitely the best I've heard on this listening journey so far, and probably will be for a long while. Personal preference has to play a big role here, sorry Mr Coltrane! I'm sure you won't be turning in your grave.

Goed
Not to my taste
I realize he is an excellent musician. I just find all the high notes he plays on the sax to be grating so I can't really enjoy it.
Annie bought me this record for Christmas a couple years ago. It's enjoyable. That's the only criteria I really put on jazz music. I often put it on when we have guests and want something that will melt into the background. Still love the chanting of "A love supreme!" Never gets old.
not a massive Jazz fan but this was ok
Love John Coltrane. This is not my favorite from him.
Impressive, but not something I particularly enjoy listening to.
I’m not much of a jazz fan so it’s hard to rate the album I will say that the musicians are very talented but it’s not something I would listen to again 3/5
Not for me but jazz is impresive so
A master of his craft, his craft can be a little inaccessible.
best jazz offering we've had on this list (sorry spazzjazz).
*a love supreme, a love supreme, a love supreme, a love supreme*
Tambem ja tinha ouvido falar do John Coltrane mas eh azuis, talvez curta com um fone de ouvido mas esqueci...
i'm not very much into Jazz
Very impressed by the musicianship. The fourth track didn't land with me at all, but the rest was solid.
Hyvää jazzmeininkiä. Vaati sopivan mielentilan, että tästä jaksaa innostua. Nyt jaksoin innostua vaan kolmen tähden verran.
Tällä hetkellä oli vähän liian hidas päivä näin nopeaan jazziin. Lähtökohtaisesti jazz kuitenkin maistuu, ja tämäkin varmaan hieman eri tilanteessa paremmin. Vähän rauhallisemman jazzin vaatisi tämä päivä. 3,5 pinnaa, pyöristetään päivän menon mukaan tällä kertaa alaspäin, vaikka vikan kappaleen myötä olisi voinut pyöristää myös ylöspäin.
Ihan ok, mutta vähän turhan vikkelää neekerijatsia minun makuuni. Ei meinaa pysyä perässä, kun tulee nuotteja niin kovaan tahtiin. Taustamusiikkina jees, mutta en ihan asioikseni pistäisi soimaan.
Short album, would need to listen some more. Definitely felt more like a 60s album while still being Jazz
Although I usually don't like jazz, I though this album was OK.
De los discos de jazz que me salieron hasta ahora, creo que es el que más me gustó.
Great if you like jazz I guess. Good background stuff
Grande coltrane
As with Monk before him, not hugely into jazz, but it pleasantly classes up the joint. 5/10
Some nice Jazz
I can tell there is something cool going on here but I still don't get it.
Interesante y diferente, pero no veo como sea de lo más relevante en el género.
Do I love Jazz? Not particularly. Do I recognize the level of skill it takes to make this music? Hell yeah. An interesting listen.
It's Jazz. I enjoy Jazz in the right setting with the right mood. It is what it is.
Sí me gustó pero quizá de pronto no le entiendo al jazz. Es como si estás platicando con alguien y de pronto te grita y de pronto te susurra y dan ganas de darle unas cachetadas para que se ponga chido.
Corto, pero aguanta.
not bad
This is what jazz sounds like. It's jazzy and smooth. Unfortunately I don't feel like listening to this as I work without a glass of whisky and a cigarette
Very all over the place, 4 parts that let each instrument shine Devided into the ear speakers with clear distinction where each instrument would be in the room, which can be tiresome after a while when one instrument is just having a solo If you like jazz it's probably definitely for you
I wonder if this was in any way inspiration for the love below? Regardless, I did enjoy. Much more hectic than I would've expected, but interesting solos.
A bit dissonant for me. Not super leading jazz but tumultuous
