John Coltrane – A Love Supreme: Live In Seattle

Of all his many albums and live shows, A Love Supreme: Live In Seattle is often said by fans to be one Coltrane’s greatest works. Until recently, this was a long lost performance from the iconic saxophonist. Recorded in 1964, it is only the second full live performance recording known after one from the Festival Mondial du Jazz Antibes in France from 1965. The quartet for the original recording of one was made up of McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones next to Coltrane himself, but this recording was boosted by Pharoah Sanders on tenor sax and Donald Garrett on second bass. It’s a suite packed with spirit, power and soul.
