A Love Supreme

false

It’s Coltrane at his best, in what world was I not going to give this album 5 stars? There have been so many positive reviews written about this album that I’m not sure how much else so have to say but it really is that good. Everybody plays so well together and the solos are perfect. My criteria for a 10 is basically that I don’t think the album could be any better and this album certainly fits that description. Favorite songs: Yes Least favorite songs: No 10/10

Miles likes jazz.

Jazz is a lot like England's "golden generation" of footballers. On paper, there's a lot of superstars but in practice, each player seems to be out of sync with each other and playing to their own tune.

Hyvää jamittelua! Tosin en osaa sanoa miksi juuri tämä levy listalla. Tätä ei pitäisi kuunnella työn ohessa kuulokkeilla vaan esim. perjantai-iltana nojatuolissa laadukkaista kaiuttimista.

A dark, blurry, improvisational groove. There is something primal and transcendent going on here

Just can't get into it...

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.

One of the most important records ever made, John Coltrane's A Love Supreme was his pinnacle studio outing, that at once compiled all of the innovations from his past, spoke to the current of deep spirituality that liberated him from addictions to drugs and alcohol, and glimpsed at the future innovations of his final two and a half years.

Short album, would need to listen some more. Definitely felt more like a 60s album while still being Jazz

Instrumental, Jazz.

Jizzy Jazz

such a cool album. 10/10

Not much of an appreciation for jazz but still thought it was good. Less good than Kind of Blue, so 8/10 ?

Although I usually don't like jazz, I though this album was OK.

enjoyed this, would listen again as background music

De los discos de jazz que me salieron hasta ahora, creo que es el que más me gustó.

Jazzy

No i pojawil sie swiety Jan Jazzowy, dodatkowo tak blisko od siebie znalazly sie jedne z najwazniejszych plyt jazzowych, bo po ostatnim kind of blue nie sadzilem, ze szybko uslysze cos rownie dobrego, a tym razem, jak zreszta zazwyczaj, mylilem sie, wiec a love supreme, czyli synteza ewolucji jazzowej lat 50-60 zawarta w materiale, ktory bez slow opowiada swoja historie, moze nie do konca bez slow, bo jednak otwierajacy acknowledgment, zawiera chant ktory jest tytulem albumu, a powiazujac tytul traka z chantem dostajemy odpowiedz na pytanie co bedzie motywem przewodnim plyty, wdziecznosc za muzyke, wdziecznosc za zycie, wdziecznosc za cel, wdziecznosc za milosc, a jako ze Coltrane, ktorego okreslilem jako swietego byl mocno wierzaca osoba, praktykujaca wiare w Boga, bez przynaleznosci do scisle okreslonej religii, to dzielo prawdopodobnie bylo adresowane do niego, ma to sens takze patrzac na kolejne plyty, gdzie rowniez wyraznie widoczna jest nawet na samych tytulach ich duchowosc, ascension, aeditations, om, to tylko kilka z przykladow, wiec nie tylko jak trwoga to do Boga, ale takze z dziekczynnymi dzwiekami, a jak mozna lepiej podziekowac za talenty i cel w zyciu niz stworzyc plyte, ktora asymiluje eksperymepty modalno bebopowe jakie tworzyl na poprzednich materialach, wiec plyte otwiera modalnosc acknowledgementa, przechodzacy w kadencyjny resolution grany na 8 taktow, zeby przejsc do iscie bluesowego grania w 12 taktach na pursuance, a konczac znowu modalnosciowa ekspresja psalmu, zagrane z udzialem kwartetu coltrane na dwoch saksach, tenorowej i sopranowej, garrison na kontrabasie, jones na drumsach i dodatkowych gongach, no i tyner na klawiszach, jak w wiekszosci swoich przypadkow, najlepiej opowiada historie ten kto ja napisal, wiec scena jest mocno coltranowa pod tym wzgledem, zmniejszenie liczby instrumentow w nagraniach jazzowych na przestrzeni lat wplywa na to, ze latwiej jest stworzyc material dobry, bo mniejsza ilosc mozliwoych bledow, ale jednoczesnie ciezko stworzyc cos niezwyklego bo rzeczy nieslyszalne nigdzie indziej sa wlasnie czesto kwestia przypadku, ale w tym wypadku jest to z pewnoscia album wyjatkowy, nie tylko ze wzgledu na niasacy z soba muzyczny przekaz, ale rowniez jest kamieniem milowym w tworzeniu free jazzu, ktory pozwala na ekspresje tworcza zarowno kompozytora jak i grajacego, jako material podzielony na party ktore sie wzajemnie komplementuja i uzupelniaja powinien byc sluchany w calosci, wiec nie wrzucam tutaj nic na plejliste, a plyta juz byla od dawna oznaczona w biblioteczce krazkowej spotifaja, oby jak najwiecej takich pickow

JAZZ instrumental

7/10. I am terrible at rating Jazz type stuff, but didn't seem as interesting as some of the others we have had.

Great if you like jazz I guess. Good background stuff

Transcendant.

Gilt als Meisterwerk, nicht wegzudenken aus dem Kanon, gottgleich die Verehrung. Tue mich aber seit jeher schwer mit dieser Aufnahme (der Blue Train fährt cooler). An manchen Tagen hat “A Love Supreme“ die Kraft, graue Wolken vor den schmutzigen Fenster hinfort zu blasen. An anderen stellt sich eher ein Gefühl des Aushaltens ein. Das meist permanent hohe Tempo zwingt zum konzentrierten Hinhören, eine Aufgabe, für die es manchmal eine Kraft und Kontemplation braucht, die man aufzubringen nicht immer vermag. Musik als Rechenaufgabe oder Rätsel - faszinierend und (über)fordernd zugleich. Aber im guten Moment das magisch unbeschreibliche Begreifen ohne je eine Note zu kennen. Ehrlich diffuse Gefühle; selten verrückt, wie die Platte je nach subjektiver Empfindung morpht. Aber ein Sturm ist kein Buchhalter, sondern bläst und tobt unverzeihlich, wo und wie er will. Krasse 4.5

Schon oft gehört - aber wohl nie oft genug. Tatsächlich gibt es jedes Mal was neues zu entdecken auf dieser Reise, die noch so harmonisch und konzentriert beginnt, um dann immer stärker am Geschmack der Freiheit zu schnuppern und die Frage zu suchen deren Antwort 42 lautet, sich selbst in der Gleichung auflösen will und schließlich eins wird mit der kosmischen Existenz.

Now this is some soulful stuff. I really dig the structure and concept of this album a lot.

disco regalado a mama. muy buen saxofonista

Was so excited to listen to another jazz album especially one from a musician I had heard of :)

Coltrane's sax texture is all over the map in the best possible way. THE BASS SOLO ON PART THREE!

Harder to get into than the other Miles Davis though I am somewhat aware of the intense musical stuff that’s going on. 8

Good. Not my favorite Coltrane album, though.

Elegante, intenso, eléctrico.

Grande coltrane

As with Monk before him, not hugely into jazz, but it pleasantly classes up the joint. 5/10

Some nice Jazz

This is one of my favorite albums I have discovered so far. Its not an everyday listen, I will have to be in the mood for it. But for sure I will be listening again, and again, and again. Dat Drummer be Crazy. drums out of 5

I've heard the name Coltrane before but never listened to any of his music. Very pleasant music. I'm not a huge fan of jazz but maybe I was in the right mood or something, this really was good!

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.

Hola

inascoltabile

1/5 kann ich nix mit anfangen

I love everything about this album except for the part where they chant a Love supreme. the improvisations and overall Vibe are just so much fun, and it's interesting to think about where this one lives in history as Coltrane and Davis's relationship progressed

Already listend

Hated it. I really tried but it did nothing for me

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.

Already listened to it but I will continue to listen to it many, many times

So right. Smooth and choppy at the same time.

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.

A classic album by one of the greats, I’ve never taken the time to really dig into Coltrane’s work but his talent and accomplishments are undeniable.

9/10

I was working while listening to this, and unlike Black Saint, I wasn't distracted by any obnoxious muted horns, so I'd say I liked this very much. I also love using commas, apparently. 5 stars babeeeeee

false

So good!

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

This is is, this is the one. This and Kind of Blue. If you had to pick two jazz albums to take with you before jazz disappeared, it’d probably be one of those. It’s truly an achievement in sound, playing, recording, all of it. It’s no wonder this is cited in so many lists. Favorite song: all Least favorite: none

Good background noise nice jazz been wanting to get into jazz this is pretty good wouldn’t listen to without doing something else.

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

10

Didn't really grab me, good jazz but nothing memorable.

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.

Good jazz but not for me

it's a five NEXT

It's a classic for a reason. Experimental and beautiful.

Äärimmäisen taidokasta musisointia. Instrumentaalijazz ei vaan valitettavasti ole yhtään mun juttu. Sori John!

A bit dissonant for me. Not super leading jazz but tumultuous

sax

Fin dzezic

3.6

Great album. Started off a bit odd but some cool sounds. Cool progressions

Not a huge jazz fan but this was easy to listen to.

I'm sure it's important, but I don't know enough about the history of jazz and/or Coltrane to know why it's important. I'd prefer to listen to Coltrane's more melodic pieces.

A string of great motifs. Maybe one of the best jazz albums made.

Good. Feel like I need multiple listens to form a full opinion

Classic jazz album, huge fan

Jazz. Raw, unapologetic, beautiful, soulful, all of those other words that have certainly been said about it over the years, and more. This album is great, and definitely deserves a high spot on this list.

Interesting jazz album, definitely need to LISTEN AGAIN, only got one listen in.

3/10

I know it's great, but I'm super ignorant about jazz. I enjoyed it but didn't feel compelled to finish it.

I need to dive deeper into Coltrane. This spoke to me and I want to know more of how and why. Ah, jazz.

In general, jazz is something I always wanted to get into , though I don't know that much about it. Like, wtf makes this one of the best albums ever made? Sounds like jazz to me. Good moments in there, and I bet that if I pay real good attention, I'd get even more out of it. Who knows. It's a fun listen though. And the cool thing about jazz is all the dynamism. Goes all over the place. And hearing where the next place they'll take you musically is cool. It's like an excercise in presence. Most pop songs, it's all about expectation and payoff I think. The bass drops just when it needs to. But with jazz, it's a constant flow. THings come out of nowhere. And most likely when "jazz that's not jazz" is when it tries to prevent that unpredictability. Lol maybe I do like jazz!

Olisin voinut kuolla kuulematta tätä. En kuulu kohderyhmään.

Classic.

Cool stuff

Enjoyed it and really appreciated the brevity of this album. I’m not grasping why it’s super revered tho

Toimis siellä kuuluisassa utuisessa jazzyökerhossa New Yorkissa. Autossa tavallisena arkimaanantaina ei aivan.

Not all songs were available sadly but I enjoyed it

I am still trying to get more into jazz. This was an okay listen, and it wasn't necessarily difficult to get through but I'm not sure if I enjoyed it. Still, I appreciate the talent here.

Jazzy, lovely, timeless, nothing to not like here

Jazz

I didn't realize I liked jazz until I listened to this album. The first track was simply outstanding. There were parts during the latter half of the album that seemed to go on a little long, but it was still phenomenal regardless.

if you at all know jazz this album should be in your radar

One of the most well-known Jazz records for a reason. It's not my first listen, and it won't be my last. I have not listened to a lot of John Coltrane, but this is a great album.

What can be said about this album that hasnt already been said? Its absolutley incredible. Im not a jazz expert, and have only listened to about 4 dozen jazz albums, so I dont understand the music theory of it all, I just know that its an incredible experience to listen to this.

this might be a technical masterpiece but let's be real, jazz is annoying

Not for me
