WORTH CONSUMING!
Four decades on, Coltrane’s best-known album rides an ever-ascending path of reverence and reach. To jazz cognoscenti, it is the pinnacle of Coltrane’s Classic Quartet. The album resonates with a universal pull. To Coltrane devotees, it proves as self-revealing a statement as any he recorded. “If you want to know who John Coltrane was,” maintains Elvin Jones, “you have to know A Love Supreme.”
