Alice Coltrane on John Coltrane’s writing process for “A Love Supreme”: “It was so interesting, when John created “A Love Supreme”. He had meditated that week. I almost didn't see him downstairs. And it was so quiet! There was no sound, no practice! He was up there meditating, and when he came down he said, "I have a whole new music!" He said, "There is a new recording that I will do, I have it all, everything." And it was so beautiful! He was like Moses coming down from the mountain. And when he recorded it, he knew everything, everything.” “He said this was the first time that he had all the music in his head at once to record.”
@SVG__Collection I say this without irony. With no hint of 60s satire. A Love Supreme is one of the most genuinely transcendental states any human being has achieved. It is an existentialist milestone of spiritual astronomical units in magnitude.
@SVG__Collection One of THE greatest albums ever recorded. Of ANY musical genre. But a MUST for jazz listeners. The contrast between the enchanting peaceful pace of the Acknowledgement and the fast driving pace of Resolution is brilliance. I cannot listen to this album & NOT think of my Dad.
@SVG__Collection Interesting. Not surprised ... there is something "beyond" in his playing.
@SVG__Collection Thank You for posting this 👆 Listening to the 4 movements, the compilation of each composition creates a whole musical idea.
@SVG__Collection @Orlando59660632 Inspirational masterpiece
@SVG__Collection If I wasn't a "Coltrane Disciple" before, this exceptional recording made me one. #Masterpiece 🎷🎵🎶🎵🎶
@SVG__Collection Hadn't heard this before. Great. Thanks.
@SVG__Collection Possibly the most spiritual album of all time. A Masterpiece
@SVG__Collection Yes...my favorite. He had to have gone to another realm on a spiritual journey and returned on this one.
@SVG__Collection He was only 41 when he left this earth.
@SVG__Collection Inspired album to say the least
@SVG__Collection The depth says it all, unusual frequency
@SVG__Collection Of all the great jazz albums ever made, A Love Supreme is the one album I would have loved to been in the studio when it was created.
@SVG__Collection en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%9Aruti. This is music that is “heard“ and not composed. This is what the Indians thought about the Vedas – that they were passed down from the gods to man.
@SVG__Collection We must preserve Godsends like Coltrane, Django, Billie, Son, Fitzgerald, Wanderley, Getz, Joao, Blakey, Monk, Vaughn, Haynes, Bacharach, Warwick, Rollins, Fats, Little Richard, The Staples, Cab, Cannonball, Morelli, Billie, Chuck, Hancock, Sister Rosetta, Bird, Turrentine...
@SVG__Collection FBA Excellence!!!!🔥🔥🔥
