• Track Listing

As many rock musicians (from Carlos Santana to Mike Watt) as jazz artists have been ineffably moved, inspired and influenced by this luminous Coltrane career moment. Never before or since have instrumental innovations, deep spirituality and sheer beauty come together as enthrallingly as they did on this 1965 album (for which "classic" seems way too small a word). Every note captured during this peak Coltrane period is gold for jazz collectors, so this is nothing short of manna from heaven: the complete stereo album plus Trane’s original mono reference masters and a whole disc of undubbed versions, vocal overdubs and alternate takes. The 3-CD super deluxe edition contains all that and also takes us to a few months after the release of "A Love Supreme" to hear the saxophone icon and his legendary band playing the album’s "Acknowledgement," "Resolution," "Pursuance" and "Psalm" live at the Festival Mondial du Jazz Antibes! Verve.
