[Nicolassimouss]

Coltrane is truly driven by something strong. I would not listen to this every day but I cherish it every time I hear it.

[zumbi1990]

@Nicolassimouss No doubt, no doubt. I was reading a quote by Coltrane - he said he wanted to make music that would heal people or elicit a certain emotional response in them. That's the TRUE purpose of music!

[nagacami]

no puedo creer que viviera tanto tiempo de mi vida sin escuchar esta hermosa música D=

[ajmacrae1989]

@lokanta100 WTF does Jewish or not being Jewish have to do with anything you anti-semitic cunt? STFU. Religion has no relation what so ever to a person's musical ability. The only reason why I am even writing this is cause as a Jew, I take offence to your comment. PS if you REALLY have such an issue with jews so much, you should stop listening to Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen, Paula Abdul, Beastie Boys, Tenacious D, Norman Greenbaum, Maroon 5, Pink, etc etc.

[bluesborn]

@ajmacrae1989 -Let's not forget two of the greatest electric blues guitarists of all time who happened to be Jewish-Peter Green and Mike Bloomfield.

[suripopje]

@ajmacrae1989 I agree on the religion argument. But ...Paula Abdul? Seriously she has not been listened to since 1986. Never knew she was Jewish btw,do you have anymore trivia? ;-)

[TheHyancith]

@ajmacrae1989 and KISS.

[yungstunnaandjetfly]

jazz is so beautiful

[cequejesens]

megustaaaaaa!!!

[MrRodneyBlack]

This just sounds so perfect. No words.

[evolooshion]

I got an assignment to use this for an inspiration for "tone" in my creative writing class. I can say I'm a metal, punk, and folk/"world" music fan, but I'd never delved into jazz

Dumb mistake

[progreadicto]

this album and the black saint an the sinner lady are probably the best jazz albums of all times.

[1wvserenity]

GSA "Project Funk Jam"/ "All Blues"

[udo210ohanele]

i agree that variety is d spice of life. i love jazz, classical, raggae, blues, rock ... name it. any good music is universal. love supreme is music eternal

[steveovt]

Being that I listen to so many types of music how do I get over the fact that the timing is off. Or what is it that Im missing here. I used to love this in college but not so much anymore. I know Coltrane was a talented man . But help me to hear it again. Thanks

[Beenyad]

@steveovt It's not really off time, just the timing is a little less confined than music usually requires.

[russ2187]

He was having a conversation with God when he did this song !!

[OUTOFGAS88]

THANK YOU

[mrhoffame]

This record comes to life so strong every time I hear it. It almost scares me.

[TheMingusjazz]

A love supreme / And there's nothing else to say.

[ophone77]

This is by far my favourite Jazz album!!!

[marlon661]

@3:53-4:28 i could hear his SOUL crying through his horn. the soloist after that was mellow like a release had just taken place. i LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

[MorningView4]

I get goosebumps, tears of joy, and smiles each time I lose myself in this timeless recording. Thank you Mr. Coltrane, Thank you so very much.

[babah77088]

A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A SUPREME

[fastborzoi]

best jazz recording ever made

[fat8622]

@fastborzoi Nah, Black Saint and the Sinner Lady. That album causes me to jizz everywhere and cry and slap my mother with it's goodness. Mingus kicked more ass than Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris and Satan combined. But yeah, A Love Supreme is a beautiful masterpiece aswell

[CaptainSmollet22]

Does anyone else think of food when they here this song?  I could really go for a love supreme right now.

[Miloshevits]

@CaptainSmollet22 I could eat a burrito supreme

[vanessa4u4evr]

Artist extraordinaire, and some other stuff that God hasn't even given us words for is what this man is. Screw the status quo.

[boxingallday100]

SOME OF THE GREATEST PIECES OF WORK EVER CREATED RIGHT HERE. JOHN COLTRANE LIVES FOREVER.

[alsdyall]

And let's not forget how awesome the other band members are. Elvin's driving masterwork in keeping the beat while playing around it and Mccoy Tyners' breakthrough percussive chord style.

[harveydents]

Also as a buddhist i love this album...it just embraces the concept of love as a means of expressing love for fellow man and woman...and the human race. TRANE to me expresses in this that there is only ONE RACE......THE HUMAN RACE.

[harveydents]

I am a HEAVY METAL GUITARIST.....and i find this album ESSENTIAL to ANY MUSICIAN! in ANY TYPE of GOOD MUSIC!!! I would have loved to have met this GENIUS!

[pejotajazz]

@Dangerous,

All this variety, you'll find in jazz



[hobeygo]

When I first listened to this piece, I was so wasted that I woke up close to that part they kept up saying "a love supreme" from a very base tone. I thought they were chanting 'allah allah' like a gospel when I woke up. Definitely illuminating

[Aaronlongville]

People can play Coltranes licks, even his songs and it's not the same. Why? because they don't posses the divine energy source know as the "Soul of Coltrane". You obviously can't play with someone else's soul can you? When you play, play from your soul like Coltrane does. Imagine if everyone could/did play from there soul as well as He did? Imagine where music would be today? with all that creativity and energy.. it's a nice thought, i recommend you just take a moment to imagine that thought.

[babylowdown]

@Aaronlongville I Like your thoughs Bro'.

[alsdyall]

This song is living, sonic proof that the divine manifests itself through the human soul.

[babylowdown]

@alsdyall True Dat !

[guymandude323]

epicness in true form

[RATM44]

A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME A LOVE SUPREME

[trumpetids]

Best improviser that jazz had, and im saying that as a trumpet player

[nassauE]

@trumpetids better thank monk?

[ian45451]

@nassauE thats a close 1

[trumpetids]

@nassauE Yes i have to say better than Monk, like i said before even as a trumpet player im amazed at the melodic lines he constructed.

[BLKnUSA1]

ever since I first heard this track about 25 years ago, I have proclaimed it to be the single greatest jazz composition that I've ever heard. that still stands true today. amazing how he seems to make his instrument talk. amazing.

[sallypotmeandfred]

So nice, so "right". Listening to it while doing homework at the moment, makes the longest of papers seem tolerable.

[MrPisatelka]

This kind of music shows the mood, the soul, the nature of feelings. Great talent!

[danirox79]

so amazingly good...

[sensualwisdom570]

I have felt every lung release too make it blow

I have strummed every heart rhythm and made it slowed

I was every finggertip open and close

I was the ten tapping toes

Your spirit had to be belted out

so we can hear it

On my shirt collar I choose too wear it

Where do you don your LOve SUpreme?

[manwomanboogie]

@sensualwisdom570 That's That Fever Baby! Loved It!

[sensualwisdom570]

@manwomanboogie lol...so that's what they call it huH??..Thank You!!!..

[Leadhead444]

The Vocal chants are orgasmic!!

[wsigel1]

Metal sucks- the end.

[xenarcade]

@wsigel1 HAHA yes, it does. Bastardization of rock & roll, blues, and jazz is all metal is.

[OctoSnuffaluffagus]

@xenarcade Wow so now rock & roll has some kind of prestige or lineage that you mention it alongside blues and jazz, but somehow metal is still a bastard? relative realities are so convenient.

[MrCB001]

Six people are narrow minded

[MrCB001]

@floyde91 No matter what their taste they should recognize greatness

[HAIRDIVA0524]

the runs of his sax are intoxicating, masterpiece no other word to describe it

[DangerousBastard]

To me, anybody who says that just one type of music is good, and everything else is rubbish, simply proves themselves to have a very very narrow-minded and ignorant point of view. Its not a point of view worth taking seriously. Personally, I love all kinds of music. Jazz, Rock, Blues, Classical, Indian music, Heavy metal too when I'm in that kind of mood. Variety is the spice of life. The best musicians draw from a wide range of influences. Why choose limitations, when you can choose freedom?

[OrganicThumb420]

profound

[dwshill]

@DangerousBastard "Why choose limitations, when you can choose freedom?" Nicely stated....I plan to use that.

[SuperAlexacuna]

@DangerousBastard I agree with these statements, Music is one word and it full of diferent genres and yes masterful musicians have contribute to this wonderful art and gift of God.

in spanish is: Mu-Si-Ca. Rhythm- Melody- Harmony. To me personally if one of this three elements in music are missing then is....just ok ...yes maybe still good, but e.g listen to some Brazilian music you'l get to hear these 3 elements ...you do the math. -aa.

[DestructiveMomoKing]

@DangerousBastard

IKR!!! I like rock, gospel, pop, techno, R&B, and am starting to get into jazz! You should listen to Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band, if you haven't already.

[Mescapeme]

@DangerousBastard great statement !

[wutangryu]

@DangerousBastard

Using no way as way,,,

Having no limitation as limitation,,,

Let it flow like water my friend.....

[PunkAndFun]

@DangerousBastard And also electronic...

[depps244]

@DangerousBastard Amen to that!!!!!!

[boxingallday100]

@DangerousBastard AT ONE TIME ALL I WOULD LISTEN TO WAS HIP HOP. UNTIL I LISTENED TO MY FATHER'S MILES DAVIS AND JOHN COLTRANE CD'S. I MUST ADMIT NOT ALL MUSIC THAT COMES OUT TODAY IS GOOD. A LOT OF THE RECORD COMPANY'S WANT SURE THINGS RATHER THAN TAKING A CHANCE ON SOMETHING DIFFERENT. BUT I KNOW THAT WILL CHANGE. ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTIST IS ERYKAH BADU BECAUSE SHE IS NOT SCARED TO TAKE CHANCES WITH HER MUSIC. I HAD TO LEARN HOW TO LISTEN TO JAZZ. IT'S FREE MUSIC.

[YoMamaBeenLurkin]

@DangerousBastard WTF are you on about.??

[jonstfrancis]

@DangerousBastard "Why choose limitations, when you can choose freedom?" Love it!

[StraitjacketAirsoft]

@DangerousBastard a philosophy, jazz is the gateway to musical acceptance

[StraitjacketAirsoft]

@DangerousBastard a philosophy, jazz is the gateway to musical tolerance.

[bran1226]

@DangerousBastard pretty deep for a man named dangerous bastard.

[fat8622]

@bran1226 HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, THAT'S SO FUNNY.

[Mestizo1971]

@DangerousBastard You said that very well!

so many comments are so subjective.

i like, i think ...

there is all sorts of great music in different fields, and just like people, some will touch your heart, some will touch your head, and some will be nowhere near you

[gdubh]

A love love love..

[biggerturtle]

The greatest jazz  composition ever

[brucepig]

Bless Mr Coltrane

[paldam101]

Whenever I hear this song, in the part where they chant "A love Supreme...A love Supreme" I always picture a hord of hipster boheme zombies marching through The ruins of greenwich village in their torn-up zoots! Y'know what I mean?

[BLUR600]

@paldam101 hipsters nowadays are quite different............

[paldam101]

@BLUR600 You mean they don't zoot up anymore?

[BHAKTANATURE]

KRSNA Supreme.....I heard He traveled to India with His wife a lot....and was really into KRSNA....Peace

[aldeb456]

One of my favorite jazz songs of all time! Coltrane was the baddest!!! Dammitt maaannn!!!

[Eriksondhy]

greatest album ever...:)

[SuperPino4ever]

Really good wooow

[duhjuce]

Allah Supreme

[xmiszxiszx]

nuke iran supreme.

[DMD19911]

Can I not just make a point and like a John Coltrane song?

[cgundddd]

what is going on with these comments? this is coltrane. how did all these strange people get to this song? wow, never ceases to amaze me.

[megajames3000]

that's what i'm saying

[nrod1984]

You cannot answer to ignorance. That's like trying to teach a Christian logic.

[crackkyadome]

@nrod1984 Funny...This song and the rest of the songs in the suite were inspired by the beginning of Trane's spiritual enlightenment. Acknowledgement is where he admits that his gift and talent derived from a higher spiritual power. I call him God

[nrod1984]

Thank you for proving my point.

[crackkyadome]

@nrod1984 Just stating the truth, not proving your point...God bless

[ruhack123]

wow jazz is art music is art dont put it in a box true music is not duplicated but immitated

[bry3921]

for the guitar players. Jimi and Trane. They are not, and never were just wild expressions of the sixties. Their devotion is something very rare. They meant every note they played, and played the blues so deeply, soaking in generations of the song; it should be shocking and stir your soul. Ain't the band just sick? Beautiful

[megajames3000]

you're right i read both biographies them and stevie ray vaughn have the deepest devotion in music

[mysoulsaved]

Leave it up to a higher power, 'A love Supreme!!!!!!!!!!

[thedigitalbee54]

I'm in 'AWE,' I am so glad I LUCKED UP ON THIS ONE, THANKS SOOOOO MUCH

[jazzx251]

@thedigitalbee54

Haha - listen to part 3!

[guyleclairemusic]

My Master

[folopo2]

hail to the masters!

one of the most inventive quartets ever formed!

thank you Coltrane.

thank you McCoy Tyner.

thank you Jimmy Garrison.

thank you Elvin Jones.

[colton422]

@folopo2 and hey don't forget the talent of Archie Shepp and Art Davis

[robertclemon]

Chapter and verse,

[S6509]

Perfection.

[jamesjonesrocket]

This says more to me about spirituality than any sermon ever has. It seems strange calling it music, when it is much more than that.

[lifestraight]

Music is life and love and everything beautiful.Yes.

[lifestraight]

Beautiful.

[VTERRELL]

I can smell the sandlewood incense, see the black light posters, somebody pass the bottle of cherry kiafa.

[schoolbird6]

Today marks the 45th year anniversary that Trane recorded this album! Just amazing beautiful art.

[MaMaSl00ger]

heavy metal goood, jazz shit

[randyrhoads82rip]

Dude stop, making us heavy metal fans look bad on a John Coltrane page. I am a staunch heavy metal fan but I still listen to Brahms, Mozart, Haydn, Coltrane, Gillespie, and loads of other nonmetal stuff. Learn to appreciate the all time masterpieces.

[Djavidus]

At last, I found a soulmate.

My favourite things (hahahey!) are Coltrane, Miles, Cannonball, Gonsalves... but I also listen to Dream Theater and Finsterforst.

[mightyafrowhitey]

@randyrhoads82rip amen to that. music is music. hell I love jazz. I also love bluegrass, classical, soul, whatever. if it's good it's good.

[duhjuce]

@randyrhoads82rip "word" I agree

[HuggumsMcgehee]

@randyrhoads82rip Amen.

[tanvo93]

@randyrhoads82rip not respecting metal from a jazz listiners perspective is kinda bad i guess..because jazz was looked down on when it started out on top of that its a foriegn art to alot of people and people like me want to really study it and i have been highly influenced by it..there will always be talentless bands in music whether jazz or heavy metal thats were u find that ungeneric artistic bands that are doing their own thing

[AristYdes]

@randyrhoads82rip i wonder how metallica must sound after listening to this. i dont know because the last time i listened to metallica i was 15 LOL

[mibsteve]

@randyrhoads82rip I totally go along with your taste!!! And btw: There are metal bands like Atheist (for example the song "brains", vocals will probably scare some people off), or Demonlord (the song "kill the lord"!!!) introduce some elements of Jazz to their sound and that sounds awesome imo!

[seanbrock]

@randyrhoads82rip Good music is good music. Limiting yourself to one genre is like as a child saying that you'll only eat pizza or chicken nuggets and not try anything else. Ultimately he doesn't make metal fans look bad. He just proves himself to be small minded and childish.

[palteonato]

@randyrhoads82rip Frank Zappa!

[munruthel1]

@randyrhoads82rip pff that's what metal is based off of, why wouldn't heavy metal fans like it?

[jgnromano]

@randyrhoads82rip  amen

[DWaq32]

I would try heavy metal, but I'm afraid to go deaf. Besides, you can't understand shit.

[leldoryn]

Most metal bands use regular singing. Just stay away from anything labeled as "death metal", "black metal", or "metalcore", and you should be fine.

[DWaq32]

Yeah I know, I like a couple of metal bands. I was just trying to answer that guy's ignorance.

[DMD19911]

...so do they. Death/black/core metal bands all use the same techniques for singing, it's just to create a harsher sound to give the song more meaning.

[remotecontrol1324]

@DMD19911 Humm the technique for black metal and death metal are diferent...

[DMD19911]

No it's not. It's all diaphragm control which is exactly what singing is about, ergo it's still singing. That's my point. You guys are fucking retarded.

[remotecontrol1324]

@DMD19911 I agree with your point! no discussion about that, I was simply saying that isn't all equal there are differences..

And don't call people retarded because who ever read this discussion from outside will think that you are just another youtube prick.

[meertibalt]

@DMD19911 Be civil now

[megajames3000]

i sounds horrible u don't know what they"re saying. but dethklok is cool i only like that

[DMD19911]

Uh...what? If you're at least going to discredit my point at least come back with something legible. All my point was is that death/black/core metal bands use the same singing techniques as any other regular singer, because for the most part it's all diaphragm control. They're not just screaming till they got no air in their lungs, that would ruin them.

[megajames3000]

actually i come from a point of view where it's about the lyrics, not the singing-if that's what youre listening for screaming until it's hard to understand it's fuckin pointless. just shut the hell up and listen if i gave a shit about that hard core shit i'd listen to it . get a life kid

[jazzx251]

@DMD19911

From what I've heard, all of them seriously need some cough sweets.

[jjhaywood]

I don't know if Coltrane was religious, but this tune truly comes from God.

[Djavidus]

He was indeed, he thought of this album as "his gift to God".

[LRKProductionz]

I don't know if this is music or something else...whatever it is, I can really feel it. Absolutely brilliant.

[robertclemon]

Chapter and Verse.....

[suripopje]

My bunny just rolled over to his side out of pure ecstasy while listening to this tune :-), apparently my bunny has taste!

[LewisSmith]

LMAO!!!! Wish I had a bunny like yours...lmao.

[suripopje]

I know he's very sophisticated when it comes to music, other than that he's just a regular sellery and carrot eating kind of rodent :-)

[1plaiboi]

"sellery"? HA HA HA!!! Classic.

[suripopje]

No seriously, that's what they eat!!!!!!!

[1plaiboi]

I was making fun of your spelling, bro. It's all good, though.

[suripopje]

LOL my spelling is really bad. At least now I know how to write celery ( I looked it up) :-)!

[1plaiboi]

I'm quite proud of you, my dear. Lol.

[jamesjonesrocket]

What does your rabbit do when he hears the jonas brothers? :)

[suripopje]

I don't subject my rabbit to torture, he's too cute!

[snubbs741]

@suripopje mmm... pure ecstasy

[MangaRED]

@suripopje make a vid if it happens again! lol

[suripopje]

@MangaRED LOL I'd love to, it's just that they do the coolest things when spontaneously, it's very hard to capture but I will try.

[dgudman88]

This is a gift to God
