John Coltrane saw his album-length suite A Love Supreme as his gift to God. The world has come to see it as a classic -- not only Coltrane's best known work, but one of the most influential jazz records ever made.
This edition, newly remastered from a recently discovered first generation master tape by original recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder, presents the suite as you've never heard it before.
"A Love Supreme wasn't a jazz record. They were just trying to make a musical statement." - Ravi Coltrane
"John Coltrane had complete empathy with what was going on around him. He could see the world, and this music is a reflection of that empathy, and it's something to aspire to - spiritually, personally, and musically." - Branford Marsalis
