“A Love Supreme คืออัลบั้มแจ๊สที่สำคัญอัลบั้มหนึ่งที่คนไม่ชอบแจ๊สก็จำเป็นต้องฟัง ผลงานที่สร้างสรรค์จากจิตวิญญาณของศิลปินเทเนอร์แซ๊กโซโฟนที่เคยร่วมงานกับ Miles Davis John Coltrane แกเล่นเฮโรอีนด้วย อัลบั้มนี้จึงได้รับอิทธิพลจากการเมาแล้วเป่า คุณเพียงหลับตาแล้วให้ Coltrane พาคุณไปในดินแดนใหม่ที่เขาค้นพบ ”
Rolling Stone John Coltrane's A Love Supreme is one of the most compelling, spiritual testimonies in the history of jazz. The four-part suite, originally issued in 1965, can't be divorced from its cultural moment -- based on the cadences of Bible psalms and the tenor saxman's own free verse, the album reflects the jazz world's growing embrace of Eastern ideas as well as the tumult of the American black-consciousness movement. But unlike many long-forgotten conceptual jazz titles of the period, A Love Supreme endures, thanks to Coltrane's wriggling lines and devout, spine-chilling incantations, and the ways his creative trio urged him on. A Love Supreme has long been overdue for a sonic upgrade -- previous CD versions have been plagued with drop-outs and assorted glitches -- and this two-disc package serves the masterwork well. The first disc offers the original album, elegantly remastered by original recording engineer Rudy Van Gelder. The second disc is the collector's bonanza: It offers two new alternate studio tracks that were recorded during the Love Supreme sessions as well as the only known concert of the full suite, from a festival in France . Though not a flawless performance, this oft-bootlegged live set catches Coltrane's group balancing roiling, avant-garde chaos against earnest, beseeching melodies -- striving for an ecstasy, and spiritual communion, that most musicians never even dared to dream about.
All Music Easily one of the most important records ever made, John Coltrane's A Love Supreme was his pinnacle studio outing that at once compiled all of his innovations from his past, spoke of his current deep spirituality, and also gave a glimpse into the next two and a half years (sadly, those would be his last). Recorded at the end of 1964, Trane's classic quartet of Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner, and Jimmy Garrison stepped into the studio and created one of the most thought-provoking, concise, and technically pleasing albums of their bountiful relationship (not to mention his best-selling to date). From the undulatory (and classic) bass line at the intro to the last breathy notes, Trane is at the peak of his logical yet emotionally varied soloing while the rest of the group is remarkably in tune with Coltrane's spiritual vibe. Composed of four parts, each has a thematic progression leading to an understanding of spirituality through meditation. From the beginning, "Acknowledgement" is the awakening of sorts that trails off to the famous chanting of the theme at the end, which yields to the second act, "Resolution," an amazingly beautiful piece about the fury of dedication to a new path of understanding. "Persuance" is a search for that understanding, and "Psalm" is the enlightenment. Although he is at times aggressive and atonal, this isn't Trane at his most adventurous (pretty much everything recorded from here on out progressively becomes much more free, and live recordings from this period are extremely spirited), but it certainly is his best attempt at the realization of concept — as the spiritual journey is made amazingly clear. A Love Supreme clocks in at just over 30 minutes, but if it had been any longer it could have turned into a laborious listen. As it stands, just enough is conveyed. It is almost impossible to imagine a world without A Love Supreme having been made, and it is equally impossible to imagine any jazz collection without it. |
