A love supreme
The hard bop era of jazz was a partial return to the fast tempos and angular nature of bebop, fused with a heavy gospel influence and incorporation of African and Latin rhythms. Sometimes called souljazz or funky jazz, (famous label of the time as well as a reference to the sound) a strong connection to the blues can be heard in its mostly minor key and mode compositions. A lot of the sounds and concepts that were developed in this time can still be heard in today's jazz. Another form of jazz known as modal jazz also emerged at this time. The Seminole Miles Davis album Kind of Blue is a great example of this sound. Another iconic figure of this time is John Coltrane. He came up through Miles Davis's band and began to make a name for himself as a composer as well. Having previously played through the hard bop and cool Jazz era, Trane was both a sensitive, lyrical player as well as one of the most fiercely angular and complex players. His classic album <anchor>A love supreme</anchor> has heavy spiritual themes fused with soulful writing and both dynamic and virtuosic playing, fusing elements of bebop, modal jazz and souljazz. The modal style is characterized by less complex chord changes (sometimes only one chord or longer duration spent on each chord), giving the soloist more time to explore different scales and modes creating different textures and sounds. Modal Jazz and elements of this style are still very much present in today's jazz music.

(1965)

_**A Love Supreme**_ is an album by the [jazz](/wiki/Jazz "Jazz") saxophonist and composer [John Coltrane](/wiki/John_Coltrane "John Coltrane"). He recorded it in one session on December 9, 1964, at [Van Gelder Studio](/wiki/Van_Gelder_Studio "Van Gelder Studio") in [Englewood Cliffs](/wiki/Englewood_Cliffs "Englewood Cliffs"), New Jersey, leading a quartet featuring pianist [McCoy Tyner](/wiki/McCoy_Tyner "McCoy Tyner"), bassist [Jimmy Garrison](/wiki/Jimmy_Garrison "Jimmy Garrison") and drummer [Elvin Jones](/wiki/Elvin_Jones "Elvin Jones").

_A Love Supreme_ was released by [Impulse! Records](/wiki/Impulse!_Records "Impulse! Records") in January 1965. It ranks among Coltrane's best-selling albums and is widely considered as his masterpiece.

## Composition

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=A_Love_Supreme&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Composition")\]

[![Elvin Jones in a black suit performing behind a drum kit](//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/Elvin_Jones_3.jpg/220px-Elvin_Jones_3.jpg)](/wiki/File:Elvin_Jones_3.jpg) [Elvin Jones](/wiki/Elvin_Jones "Elvin Jones") (pictured in 1976)

_A Love Supreme_ is a [through-composed](/wiki/Through-composed "Through-composed")[\[2\]](#cite_note-xgau-2) [suite](/wiki/Suite_(music) "Suite (music)")[\[3\]](#cite_note-nyt-3) in four parts: "Acknowledgement" (which includes the oral chant that gives the album its name), "Resolution", "Pursuance", and "Psalm". Coltrane plays tenor saxophone on all parts. One critic has written that the album was intended to represent a struggle for purity, an expression of gratitude, and an acknowledgement that the musician's talent comes from a higher power.[\[4\]](#cite_note-kahn-4) [Coltrane's home](/wiki/John_Coltrane_Home "John Coltrane Home") in [Dix Hills](/wiki/Dix_Hills,_New_York "Dix Hills, New York"), Long Island, may have inspired the album.[\[4\]](#cite_note-kahn-4) Another influence may have been [Ahmadiyya](/wiki/Ahmadiyya "Ahmadiyya") Islam.[\[5\]](#cite_note-HammerSafi2013-5)

The album begins with the bang of a gong ( [tam-tam](/wiki/Tam-tam "Tam-tam")) and cymbal washes on the first track, "Acknowledgement". [Jimmy Garrison](/wiki/Jimmy_Garrison "Jimmy Garrison") enters on double bass with the four-note motif that lays the foundation of the movement. Coltrane begins a solo. He plays variations on the motif until he repeats the four notes thirty-six times. The motif then becomes the vocal chant "a love supreme", sung by Coltrane accompanying himself through overdubs nineteen times.[\[6\]](#cite_note-6) According to _[Rolling Stone](/wiki/Rolling_Stone "Rolling Stone")_, this movement's four-note theme is "the humble foundation of the suite".[\[7\]](#cite_note-RS500-7)

In the fourth and final movement, "Psalm", Coltrane performs what he calls a "musical narration". [Lewis Porter](/wiki/Lewis_Porter "Lewis Porter") calls it a "wordless recitation".[\[8\]](#cite_note-8) The devotional is included in the liner notes. Coltrane "plays" the words of the poem on saxophone but doesn't speak them. Some scholars have suggested that this performance is an homage to the [sermons](/wiki/Sermon "Sermon") of [African-American](/wiki/African-American "African-American") preachers.[\[9\]](#cite_note-9) The poem (and, in his own way, Coltrane's solo) ends with the cry, "Elation. Elegance. Exaltation. All from God. Thank you God. Amen."[\[10\]](#cite_note-10)

_A Love Supreme_ was categorized by _[Rockdelux](/wiki/Rockdelux "Rockdelux")_ as [modal jazz](/wiki/Modal_jazz "Modal jazz"), [avant-garde jazz](/wiki/Avant-garde_jazz "Avant-garde jazz"), [free jazz](/wiki/Free_jazz "Free jazz"), [hard bop](/wiki/Hard_bop "Hard bop"), and [post-bop](/wiki/Post-bop "Post-bop").[\[11\]](#cite_note-11)

## Other performances

\[ [edit](/w/index.php?title=A_Love_Supreme&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Other performances")\]

An alternative version of "Acknowledgement" was recorded the next day on December 10 with tenor saxophonist [Archie Shepp](/wiki/Archie_Shepp "Archie Shepp") and a second bassist, [Art Davis](/wiki/Art_Davis "Art Davis"). This version omitted Coltrane chanting "a love supreme"; he preferred the quartet version with the chant, placing that on the issued album. There are two known live recordings of the "Love Supreme" suite. For years the only known live recording of the "Love Supreme" suite was of a performance at the Festival Mondial du Jazz Antibes in [Juan-les-Pins](/wiki/Juan-les-Pins "Juan-les-Pins"), France, on July 26, 1965. On October 29, 2002, the album was reissued as a remastered deluxe edition by [Impulse! Records](/wiki/Impulse!_Records "Impulse! Records") with this live performance and the alternate takes on a [bonus disc](/wiki/Bonus_disc "Bonus disc").[\[12\]](#cite_note-12) A further iteration with more studio breakdowns and overdubs was issued as a three-disc complete masters edition released by Impulse! on November 20, 2015.[\[13\]](#cite_note-13) The other known live recording of the suite was recorded October 2, 1965, at The Penthouse in Seattle. The set was recorded by saxophonist [Joe Brazil](/wiki/Joe_Brazil "Joe Brazil"). This live performance was released on October 22, 2021, by [Impulse!](/wiki/Impulse!_Records "Impulse! Records") as _[A Love Supreme: Live in Seattle](/wiki/A_Love_Supreme:_Live_in_Seattle "A Love Supreme: Live in Seattle")_.[\[14\]](#cite_note-14)

_A Love Supreme_ was widely recognized as a work of deep spirituality and analyzed with religious subtext, although cultural studies scholars Richard W. Santana and Gregory Erickson argued that the "avant-garde jazz suite" could be interpreted otherwise.[\[31\]](#cite_note-31) According to music professor [Ingrid Monson](/wiki/Ingrid_Monson "Ingrid Monson") of [Harvard University](/wiki/Harvard_University "Harvard University"), the album was an exemplary recording of modal jazz.[\[32\]](#cite_note-32) Nick Dedina wrote on the [Rhapsody](/wiki/Rhapsody_(online_music_service) "Rhapsody (online music service)") web site that the music ranged from free jazz and hard bop to sui generis [gospel music](/wiki/Gospel_music "Gospel music") in "an epic aural poem to man's place in God's plan".[\[33\]](#cite_note-33) Calling it a "legendary album-long hymn of praise", _[Rolling Stone](/wiki/Rolling_Stone "Rolling Stone")_ said that "Coltrane's majestic, often violent blowing (famously described as 'sheets of sound') is never self-aggrandizing" and that he is "aloft with his classic quartet", "soar\[ing\] with nothing but gratitude and joy" on a compelling journey for listeners.[\[7\]](#cite_note-RS500-7) _[The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide](/wiki/The_Rolling_Stone_Jazz_Record_Guide "The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide")_ (1985) said that "each man performs with eloquence and economy", while calling the album "the masterpiece from the quartet's studio work", "the first comprehensive statement of Coltrane's spiritual concerns", and "the cornerstone of many Coltrane collections".[\[34\]](#cite_note-RSJRG-34) On the other hand, jazz critic [Tom Hull](/wiki/Tom_Hull_(critic) "Tom Hull (critic)") said that he has not much considered the album "spiritual" but rather "the most perfectly plotted single piece of jazz ever recorded".[\[30\]](#cite_note-Hull-30)

_A Love Supreme_ has appeared on professional listings of the greatest albums. In 2003, it was ranked number 47 on _Rolling Stone_'s list of [the 500 greatest albums of all time](/wiki/Rolling_Stone%27s_500_Greatest_Albums_of_All_Time "Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time");[\[7\]](#cite_note-RS500-7) maintaining the rating in a 2012 revised list,[\[35\]](#cite_note-35) re-ranking at number 66 in a 2020 reboot of the list.[\[36\]](#cite_note-36) _[NME](/wiki/NME "NME")_ ranked it number 188 on [a similar list](/wiki/NME%27s_The_500_Greatest_Albums_of_All_Time "NME's The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time") in 2013.[\[37\]](#cite_note-37) The manuscript for the album was included in the [National Museum of American History](/wiki/National_Museum_of_American_History "National Museum of American History")'s "Treasures of American History" collection at the [Smithsonian Institution](/wiki/Smithsonian_Institution "Smithsonian Institution").[\[38\]](#cite_note-NMAH-38) In 2015, the album was selected for preservation in the [National Recording Registry](/wiki/National_Recording_Registry "National Recording Registry") due to its "cultural, historic, or artistic significance."[\[39\]](#cite_note-39) It is Coltrane's second album to be included after _[Giant Steps](/wiki/Giant_Steps "Giant Steps")_ in 2005.[\[40\]](#cite_note-2nd-40) It was included in Robert Dimery's _[1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die](/wiki/1001_Albums_You_Must_Hear_Before_You_Die "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die")_.[\[41\]](#cite_note-Dimery-41) It was voted number 85 in the third edition of [Colin Larkin](/wiki/Colin_Larkin "Colin Larkin")'s _[All Time Top 1000 Albums](/wiki/All_Time_Top_1000_Albums "All Time Top 1000 Albums")_ (2000).[\[42\]](#cite_note-Larkin-42)

According to [Joachim-Ernst Berendt](/wiki/Joachim-Ernst_Berendt "Joachim-Ernst Berendt"), the album's hymn-like quality permeated modern jazz and rock music.[\[43\]](#cite_note-43) As Christgau explains, the record was "adored by American hippies from [the Byrds](/wiki/The_Byrds "The Byrds") and [Carlos Santana](/wiki/Carlos_Santana "Carlos Santana") on down, and served as theme music to [Lester Bangs](/wiki/Lester_Bangs "Lester Bangs")'s wake at [CBGB](/wiki/CBGB "CBGB")".[\[2\]](#cite_note-xgau-2) Musicians such as [Joshua Redman](/wiki/Joshua_Redman "Joshua Redman")[\[44\]](#cite_note-44) and [U2](/wiki/U2 "U2"),[\[45\]](#cite_note-45) who mention the album in their song " [Angel of Harlem](/wiki/Angel_of_Harlem "Angel of Harlem")",[\[46\]](#cite_note-46) have mentioned the influence of the album on their own work. Both Santana and fellow guitarist John McLaughlin have called the album one of their biggest early influences and recorded _[Love Devotion Surrender](/wiki/Love_Devotion_Surrender "Love Devotion Surrender")_ in 1973 as a tribute.[\[47\]](#cite_note-47) "Every so often this ceases to be a jazz record and is more avant-garde contemporary classical," said [Neil Hannon](/wiki/Neil_Hannon "Neil Hannon") of the band The Divine Comedy. "I love the combination of abstract piano that's all sort of 'clang', and weird chords with wailing saxophone over the top."[\[48\]](#cite_note-Thornton-48)

In _[The Penguin Guide to Jazz](/wiki/The_Penguin_Guide_to_Jazz "The Penguin Guide to Jazz")_, [Richard Cook](/wiki/Richard_Cook_(journalist) "Richard Cook (journalist)") and [Brian Morton](/wiki/Brian_Morton_(Scottish_writer) "Brian Morton (Scottish writer)") gave _A Love Supreme_ a rare "crown" rating but asked whether it was "the greatest jazz album of the modern period..or the most overrated?" [Miles Davis](/wiki/Miles_Davis "Miles Davis"), Coltrane's former bandleader, said the record "reached out and influenced those people who were into peace. Hippies and people like that". Jazz critic Martin Gayford later elucidated Davis' comments: If a listener is "in the mood", he wrote, "it's majestic and compelling; if you're not, it's interminable and pretentious." In Gayford's own appraisal for _[The Daily Telegraph](/wiki/The_Daily_Telegraph "The Daily Telegraph")_, he argued that it "marked the point at which jazz—for good or ill—ceased for a while to be hip and cool, becoming instead mystical and messianic".[\[21\]](#cite_note-Gayford-21) Christgau, writing in 2020, said, "it's meditative rather than freewheeling, with each member of his classic quartet instructed to embark on his own harmonically mapped excursion and the title set to a chanted four-note melody you could hum in your sleep. I'm on my fourth consecutive play with no signs of tune fatigue as I write, plus [my wife](/wiki/Carola_Dibbell "Carola Dibbell") loves it. All true, all remarkable. But how much you value it, I expect, depends on how much faith you place in your own spirituality." He concluded that the next time he will listen to the album "may well depend on who dies when".[\[2\]](#cite_note-xgau-2)
