Album history

[edit]

Ashley Kahn explored the making of this classic album in his book A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane's Signature Album(2002). Kahn combines biography, cultural context, album contributors, and musical analysis to tell the story of the recording, start to finish. Besides interviews with musicians, friends and family members, Kahn's range includes never-before-seen photographs and production details on the cover photo by Bob Thiele and liner note illustration by Victor Kalin.````reba-kaye — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|Reba-kaye (talk) 17:12, 8 August 2013 (UTC) Reba-kaye] (talk • contribs) 15:28, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Adaptations

[edit]

Most of the below is unsourced or sourced to directories like allmusic that show no noteworthiness. Some of this may be worth re-adding if independent sources can be found but most of it is spammy. Moved here per WP:PRESERVE. Do not restore without independent, reliable sourcing that goes beyond a directory. thx

Adaptations
Handwritten sheet music by Coltrane, with notes surrounding it
Coltrane's original handwritten sheet music for A Love Supreme includes a note reading "All paths lead to God"

Doug and Jean Carn recorded "Acknowledgement" with female vocals for their 1972 album Infant Eyes. John McLaughlin and Carlos Santana recorded a guitar version of "Acknowledgement". which they titled "A Love Supreme" on their 1973 collaboration Love Devotion Surrender. At the time, both were devotees of guru Sri Chinmoy.

Will Downing released an R&B cover version of the main theme, with the co-operation of John's widow Alice Coltrane, which reached number fourteen in the UK singles chart in 1988. Gumball recorded an alternative rock version of A Love Supreme as a bonus track on the 1994 Japanese release of Revolution On Ice. The suite has also been recorded several times by Branford Marsalis. It forms a track on the bonus CD for the 1994 compilation album Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool, four tracks on the 2002 Branford Marsalis Quartet album titled Footsteps of Our Fathers, and on the DVD "A Love Supreme Live in Amsterdam." Branford's brother Wynton recorded the suite in 2003 with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra.[1]

Sections of the suite have been performed by the David Murray Octet on Octet Plays Trane ("Acknowledgement")[2], the Ballistic Brothers on Rude System ("Acknowledgement" and "Resolution")[3], Marc Johnson on Bass Desires ("Resolution")[4], and the Bob Mintzer Big Band on Big Band Trane ("Acknowledegment")[5]. The Turtle Island String Quartet released their album A Love Supreme in 2007, and the album features a cover version of the suite, along with other covers of various Coltrane charts.

A 1995 album titled Variations on A Love Supreme was composed by Fabrizio Cassol and Kris Defoort.

In 2007 José James recorded "Equinox" and "Resolution"' as a double A-Side limited-edition 10" for Brownswood Records. James, previously a rapper, added vocals to the tracks.

Jazz singer Kurt Elling recorded "Resolution" for his album Man in the Air. In this recording, Elling set lyrics to the music in his style of vocalese.

I agree that it' not all noteworthy, while other things are missing. Reference-wise, for starters, I'll point out that Chris Parker's entry on Marc Johnson in Ian Carr, Fairweather, and Priestley's Rough Guide to Jazz writes: "A highlight is a ringingly positive version of Coltrane's "Resolution", from A Love Supreme". A highlight on Bass Desires, that is, an album which the same text marks as "a highly influential album, still sounding fresh thanks to Frisell and Scofield's pleasingly contrasting styles". Will dig for some more, particularly on Murray's version. ---Sluzzelin talk 19:30, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ashley Kahn's book on the album mentions "David Murray's artfully arranged octet version" of "Acknowledgement" as one "deserving special mention", and that chapter lists quite a few more interpretations. Don't have a copy of the book, currently. ---Sluzzelin talk 20:03, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Date

[edit]

I have the Verve Cd version (2008). It says: "A LOVE SUPREME was originally released as Impulse! AS77 (1964)". Is it a mistake? Was it recorded in 1964, and released in 1965? What sources? Thank you. Simoneschiaffino (talk) 01:59, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
