John Coltrane

Possessing a rare and mysterious beauty, A Love Supreme is Coltrane’s hymn of praise to God, and has gone on to eclipse, in terms of both its sales and renown, every other recording that the North Carolina-born musician released during his short but fertile career. Coltrane had made several significant albums before – most notably, Blue Train, Giant Steps, and My Favorite Things – but A Love Supreme was the record that extended his fame far beyond the jazz world.
