As a freshman at Wayne state In Detroit 1965 l heard this album all over the Campus...lunch..hallways...breakfast...at jam sessions.. It spoke to me...transcending words...to feelings... I understood and received it.. Without explanation.

Just the first 2 bars of tranes intro alone take my breath away Adam had all 10s 15min in and Peter almost fell out his seat twice. One of the greatest pieces of modern art in the last 200 years.

The opening to A Love Supreme has been my morning wake up alarm for maybe seven years now. I never grow tired of hearing JC’s sax announcing the arrival of the sun.

@jacobseymour7221 2 месяца назад

As a pianist, when you think about A Love Supreme compared to KOB, both albums produced piano voicings: So What voicings and McCoy voicings. How iconic do you have to be to actually create a voicing that lives on.

@blaisee1977 2 месяца назад

Don't wanna be that guy but I would absolutely LOVE if you guys talked about some Wayne Shorter records. Perhaps JuJu or Speak no Evil? I love his works from that period.

@purushswaminathan5693 Месяц назад

with you on this. i find his music to be a spiritual successor to trane's impulse material

@CJNooberson Месяц назад

Yes!

@blaisee1977 2 месяца назад

To me this record has always felt like meditation through music. The full commitment to the music, how all earthly things seem to disappear, the "loss of self" Peter talked about-- those are all principles of meditation. I've always admired the ability of Trane to do that: to not worry about anything but the music.... Shorter could do it too...

@Dannytyrellstudios Месяц назад

Very good comment

@klaus8456 2 месяца назад

An album that in my opinion can't be ranked. It just holds its own space in music....... Thank you John Coltrane

@eosborne6495 2 месяца назад

Yeah, I almost feel like including A Love Supreme in the question of what the “best” Jazz record is misses the point of the record. Love Supreme isn’t about being the best jazz record. It’s as silly as asking what the best prayer is.

@thomascordery7951 2 месяца назад

The combination snob-o-meter with Aunt Linda was well thought out, in my view. An interesting measure of breadth of appeal. I'll be interested to see how "stankface" applies across a wide range of the greats' offerings. You guys select the tastiest!

1:04:18 Speaking of coffee shops in Japan, the famous Japanese author Haruki Muraki is a former bar owner who would totally play this. His novels are full of references to jazz. He often writes about other music as well, including his book "Absolutely on Music" where he interviews the famous conductor Seiji Ozawa, but his work tends to speak more to jazz than other genres. If you've never heard of him, I'd recommend the book "After Dark" named after Curtis Fuller's "After Dark". It's a short read, not much over 100 pages iirc.

@edwardjons8684 2 месяца назад

You mean Murakami?

@Marklar3 2 месяца назад

@@edwardjons8684 Yeah, oops lol. It's Haruki Murakami. I promise I know his name. Just made a typo and didn't notice it. Also, "After Dark" is more like 200 page. It's just such an engaging read that it feels fast I guess.

@anisehsani 2 месяца назад

This was an awesome episode! I liked that you guys hadn't done a lot of Love Supreme content on the channel and took the time to do a more lengthy discussion of it. I would love it if you guys discussed Saxophone Colossus on one of these episodes!

Yes! Or ‘Night at the Village Vanguard’.

The You Hear It Podcast? Boom, subscribed! A Love Supreme was given to me on a dubbed cassette by my instrument teacher, with Shorter's JuJu as the B side. This was the first jazz I was ever given and ever really listened to deeply. Eventually got the softsided Impuse reissue cd. I will never forget figuring out that the poem on the CD was played on the sax. Way before the internet to tell me it was a thing. I remember following along while my mind was blowing. Gotta be over 30 years ago now. "No road is an easy one" is the line that I can always pick out when listening without the lyrics. This was such a deep realization after having listened to the album a bunch as just a dubbed tape. Along with the obvious emotion involved by all the players, this totally cemented ALS as one of the best creative works of art that I appreciate. Quite possibly my favorite jazz album of all time. I was fortunate enough to see Jazz at Lincoln Center play the entirety of ALS in the summer of '22 at Tanglewood. It was amazing.

The first time I played along to Elvin the feeling was very similar to Randori (sparring in Judo). He was both kicking my butt but encouraging and inspiring me at the same time. I love the way Peter describe it: it's like being in the eye of a hurricane that does not destroy you but lifts you up! Amazing the power of music. Thanks for your insights!

What I love most about Peter..... He puts the CULTURE FIRST! He understands the music but he also understands how the music reflects the culture. Give Peter his flowers NOW!

@nakim55 2 месяца назад

For me, the greatest record ever made. Bought it when I was 16, instantly got/heard/understood it. Now I am 68 and my opinion hasn’t changed, nothing even comes close. Although, Sun Ship and Transition are right up there also.

@MattLeGroulx 2 месяца назад

The first three jazz albums I bought were this, Eric Dolphy/Booker Little at the Five Spot and Thelonious Monk Greatest Hits on Columbia. Coltrane didn't do it for me at first but McCoy's solo on Resolution blew my mind. I asked my high school music teacher what he was doing and he said "Oh, he's using modes." That didn't help me at all, lol. I told an older jazz musician that I played with what my teacher had said and he said "First of all, that guy doesn't know shit" and tried to explain it to me but 15 year old me was NOT ready for it. Eventually I grew to love the whole record but McCoy on this excites me every time. The comping, the solos. This record is one of McCoy's great moments. These days it's Elvin that grabs my attention but like any great record, there are so many layers that no matter how many times you listen you learn something new.

@benwhitaker5802 2 месяца назад

I love love the new longer format. Have listened to every episode. One proposal though: maybe do away with the scoring. I know it’s kind of how the series started, but I feel like numbers do not encapsulate the art and subjectivity. I think keep the categories and then just discuss what you like/don’t like in each category. Also pls keep going through all the classic/greatest albums. Black Saint and the Sinner Lady soon plsssssssssss

@jacklynam5653 2 месяца назад

Mmmm I agree. It made sense with shorter episodes but with the longer format it seems like they have this flow and then have to break it because they remember the scoring. Also yes black saint and the sinner lady and also sketches of spain! Would love some big band representation

@jacklynam5653 2 месяца назад

A love supreme was the second jazz album I ever listened to aftet kind of blue which I didnt click with at first. I remember how it felt listening to and its the reason I love jazz so much now. It catches the energy in the room but that energy itself is almost from a different world.

@camtaylormusic Месяц назад

Fantastic video you guys. Have absolutely loved your output recently. The first phrase of Trane's melody on Resolution made me teary, and I think I "get" this album a lot more now at 33 than I did when I first heard it maybe age 19 or so. Still a lot to learn, but totally agreed at how fantastic it is. I very much dig the little bits of discussion around spirituality, big message, race relations, roots, politics of the time, and the power this record had and still has. It would be awesome if you guys went even a little deeper on some of that stuff if you ever feel like, though it sort of felt like Adam was opening up about it and Peter wanted to talk about other things. Fair enough I suppose. Love the rapport you two have - hope to be lucky enough to see and hear you two doing your thing for years to come. Thanks Caleb too, I'm sure he deserves a bit more love.

Good morning ☕️🎹Thanks for this discussion. I listen to it weekly. My alarm in the morning is the tribute cover by Anga Diaz on the album Echu Minga. Reminding me to remain grateful. The three note bass line is also the three notes of the melody of Manteca. I wonder if you have seen the RU-vid transcription by Omree Gal-Oz.

@bucksmusic 2 месяца назад

This was a marvellous experience, both to hear your thoughts and the original album again. So glad the Johnny Hartman album got a mention, which was my introduction to Coltrane, and which I managed to get Elvin to sign my CD copy of at Ronnie Scotts in the early 2000s. About time you did an Oscar Peterson album, but NOT "We Get Requests".The Trio (with NHOP and Joe Pass) or Night Train.

Great episode, I love it when you guys actually change your mind because the music is so good. I was waiting for a Trane episode and you didn’t disappoint. I love listening to the album with you - I would listen to a second episode where you talk more in depth about what happens with the music on these albums.

@karlvanbeckum9029 2 месяца назад

This is so great, thanks. I just heard Bill Frisell w/Thomas Morgan and Rudy Royston, and I feel like they play rubato like no one else. Beautiful.

@lopezb Месяц назад

My first jazz album was "Live at Birdland". Still one of my faves. A guy working in the record store picked it out for me: I went in (was about 17, in 1969) and said "I want to start listening to some jazz- where should I start?" He went nuts: "Oh wow, this one. No, this one. No maybe.." the he settled on this and man did he know what he was doing. Later I went thru a middle Miles period, ESP, Nefertiti, Filles de Kilimanjaro....Herbie's Maiden Voyage...This one is sure magnificent. Same spirit. I had the good fortune to see McCoy once, Herbie a couple of times also Wayne Shorter and Tony Williams....Herbie gave a "master class" at UC Berkeley that a friend tipped me off to. Just him on stage with a grand piano and a few hundred folks sitting in the aisles...he demonstrated the chords from that period.

A complete masterpiece

@vituh3107 2 месяца назад

Despite the fact that I loved all of Coltrane's pre-Ascension albums, I genuinely believe that the impact of "A Love Supreme" would be n times greater on musicians (like me) than on the general public. Perhaps his albums with Johnny Hartman and Duke Ellington are more palatable to the average person, compared to the head-slapping "The Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost", for example.

I’ve never caught that sax overdub on the last couple notes, it comes in naturally in the right ear on top of the first layer which is in the left… is anyone else hearing that?

@geocosmicvalentine 2 месяца назад

I think it needs to be “Snob-O-meter” not Stankface-O-meter because not all styles of jazz produce a stank-face. Maybe the jazz that is a precursor to, and a spark, to the future funk to come - can be judged by the Stankface o meter, it’s still a great idea, but I think we’re gonna bump into a problem at some point. But that’s ok because that meter is a chameleon and is ever changing! 😂😂😂

@marcgregoryneville 2 месяца назад

@17:35 Trane repeating the foundational melody in the different registers is symbolic of The Creator; in multitudinous permutations, incarnations, manifestations; as present in and expressed through all beings and things. Then the subsequent vocal mantra, humanity, delivering the message at a level even deeper than his external instrument can convey - we, ourselves, an extension of the divine, the most fundamental and essential enactor and communicator.

@christophbrylka6256 2 месяца назад

@marcgregoryneville 2 месяца назад

I’m 25 minutes into the video, so maybe I’m making mention of it too soon, but you guys need to give Elvin some more love. Granted, it’s all rather subjective, but for me this is perhaps the heaviest drumming of all time; as well as the most visceral, unique (especially for the time) and intricate. If you’ve got the soul, the heart, and the ear, it’s difficult to say, whilst indeed in the midst of creating the form, that anyone else has ever plumbed such fierce and dazzling depths.

@marcgregoryneville 2 месяца назад

Come on guys, follow just his snare work; the ghost notes, 16th note triplets, dynamics, polyrhythms, syncopation; then independence of limbs, fury, eloquence and articulation… even in Resolution, where you rightly indicate he’s swinging his ass off, just barely beneath the surface of all that he is absolutely flying with his left hand. You gentlemen are wonderful, but let’s not gloss over too much of this.

comparing KOB to A Love Supreme is like comparing an incredible piece of literature to a religious holy text. KOB is a monumental, genre defining album. But A Love Supreme's spiritual impact on many of those who have listened to it is an achievement that surpasses genre imo
