    Listened to this album as a 15 year old, and loved every bit of it. Now, as a 72 year old, it's still as good as it was then. Thanks for sharing!😎

      This is my 1st time & I'm 43 smoking a J sitting by the window watching the rain. I listen to Alice Coltrane so I figured why not. I'm not from the Jazz background & my parents were more Anita, Luther, Stylistics type of people.
      I lean more towards Wu Tang 🤭
      So finding music like this is a gem
      Blessings to you & yours 😊✌🏾✊🏾📯🎹🎺🎸🥁🎶🎵🎶🎶

    I watched him perform "A Love Supreme " at The IT Club in Los Angeles, California summer of 1965. It was electrifying to say the least. My late husband was a musician and we hit all the jazz joints on his night off.The IT club was like a "hole in the wall" but the best jazz musicians hang out there .Wonderful memories from a 78 year young 💖🎷🎶

      I am a little younger than you, 67. I was too young to have seen JC, but in 71 or 72 I saw Pharoah Sanders in Houston at La Bastille. This energy flowed through and was modified in the most amazing way by him ... it changed the way i experienced everything ...

      I was saddened by his loss. Your comment makes me see it a new light, though.
      Everyone's back together.
      He was able to live a full and joyful life, make this and other great pieces of music, and lived to be 81. I'm sure he misses this world and this world misses him, but I'm also sure that he's elated where he is and the only thing we can do now is be elated that he was *here* in the first place, as well as all the others who have gone either too soon or gracefully with time.

      Yes! One day 6 years ago I was listening to it in my little room on the edge of Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan on the Montana border. I decided I would play it for the herd of bison in the park and drove up and started to play it in my car, nice and loud. The whole herd moved toward me, until I got a little spooked and drove away. But I will always treasure that moment of interspecies music appreciation. Peace, and safety to you, to all of you out there, wherever you are, we are all alone in this together!

    I saw Coltrane at The Gaumont State Kilburn London in 1961. He just played My favourite things for 30 minutes .It was so intense I’m not sure I understood it. Just sweat pouring off his face. It’s taken a life time to come back to listen to him once again. Very interesting lockdown music. Makes you sit still and listen. A creative soul at work.

    I was 17 when I first heard this album. There was, fortuitously, a Canadian Jazz journalist who lived across the road from me, he was a family friend. One Christmas, in the afternoon, I went around to his house and he played this to me. Wanting to educate me to proper jazz. The next year, I went round to his house on the same day. Anyway, I asked to listen to it again and he said, no, but as a present he said I will give you the album. It was an original copy from 1965, on Impulse records. I still have it but, I has version on CD that I listen to. This music is special. Very special.

It is so much more than a sound or a gathering of musicians. It is all a part of humanity as a whole. And Alice. Dear, mother Alice. ❤ . Down to the core honesty. True America expanded for the WORLD. For every living thing here on earth.

    I will do all I can to be worthy of Thee O Lord.
    It all has to do with it.
    Thank you God.
    Peace.
    There is none other.
    God is. It is so beautiful.
    Thank you God. God is all.
    Help us to resolve our fears and weaknesses.
    Thank you God.
    In You all things are possible.
    We know. God made us so.
    Keep your eye on God.
    God is. He always was. He always will be.
    No matter what…it is God.
    He is gracious and merciful.
    It is most important that I know Thee.
    Words, sounds, speech, men, memory, thoughts,
    fears and emotions - time - all related …
    all made from one … all made in one.
    Blessed be His name.
    Thought waves - heat waves-all vibrations -
    all paths lead to God. Thank you God.
    His way … it is so lovely … it is gracious.
    It is merciful - thank you God.
    One thought can produce millions of vibrations
    and they all go back to God … everything does.
    Thank you God.
    Have no fear … believe … thank you God.
    The universe has many wonders. God is all. His way … it is so wonderful.
    Thoughts - deeds - vibrations, etc.
    They all go back to God and He cleanses all.
    He is gracious and merciful…thank you God.
    Glory to God … God is so alive.
    God is.
    God loves.
    May I be acceptable in Thy sight.
    We are all one in His grace.
    The fact that we do exist is acknowledgement of Thee O Lord.
    Thank you God.
    God will wash away all our tears …
    He always has …
    He always will.
    Seek Him everyday. In all ways seek God everyday.
    Let us sing all songs to God
    To whom all praise is due … praise God.
    No road is an easy one, but they all
    go back to God.
    With all we share God.
    It is all with God.
    It is all with Thee.
    Obey the Lord.
    Blessed is He.
    We are from one thing … the will of God … thank you God.
    I have seen God - I have seen ungodly -
    none can be greater - none can compare to God.
    Thank you God.
    He will remake us … He always has and He always will.
    It is true - blessed be His name - thank you God.
    God breathes through us so completely …
    so gently we hardly feel it … yet,
    it is our everything.

    It’s crazy. Some think the Love Supreme is God. It’s not, it’s just this music. The music is the Love Supreme. Every minute of this is fucking hard work. Can you imagine what it was like to play? There’s not one minute of easy pleasure here, this is what I call bloody hard work. Played, boys.

I'm still convinced that Tyner is one of the most overlooked pianists in jazz history and just as innovative as Hancock and Silver. Those opening chords are so transcendent and beautifully moving.

      Certain Jazz musicians have such a transcendental and natural feel for the notes and the directions to take at any given moment, that even upon first listening, I felt this eerie familiarity as though these were fundamental ideas in music that have existed long before even any human "composed" it; as if to some fundamental part of my soul that might even predate me, it was familiar and only briefly forgotten in this life...
      Only other place I get that feeling is when studying maths and discovering a new mathematical fact and integrating that fact into intuition, it suddenly feels as if that idea in that part of my brain has "awakened" and was somehow already there, perhaps the previous soul that occupied my vessel forget it behind...strange and beautiful feeling, really.

    Dear Listener:
    All Praise Be To God To Whom All Praise Is Due.
    Let us pursue Him in the righteous path. Yes it is true; “seek and ye shall find.” Only through Him can we know the most wondrous bequeathal.
    During the year 1957, I experienced, by the grace of God, a spiritual awakening which was to lead me to a richer, fuller, more productive life. At that time, in gratitude, I humbly asked to be given the means and privilege to make others happy through music. I feel this has been granted through His grace. ALL PRAISE TO GOD.
    As time and events moved on, a period of irresolution did prevail. I entered into a phase which was contradictory to the pledge and away from the esteemed path; but thankfully, now and again through the unerring and merciful hand of God, I do perceive and have been duly re-informed of His OMNIPOTENCE, and of our need for, and dependence on Him. At this time I would like to tell you that NO MATTER WHAT…IT IS WITH GOD. HE IS GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL. HIS WAY IS IN LOVE, THROUGH WHICH WE ALL ARE . IT IS TRULY-A LOVE SUPREME--.
    This album is a humble offering to Him. An attempt to say “THANK YOU GOD” through our work, even as we do in our hearts and with our tongues. May He help and strengthen all men in every good endeavor…
    May we never forget that in the sunshine of our lives, through the storm and after the rain-it is all with God-in all ways forever.
    ALL PRAISE TO GOD.
    With love to all, I thank you,
    John Coltrane
