Alice Coltrane - Documentary "A Love Supreme" - Part 1

A Love Supreme” was the title of the classic album from legendary American jazz saxophonist, John Coltrane. Released in January 1965, 

it was one of Coltrane's most critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums. It is widely considered his masterpiece, as well as one of the greatest albums of all time. 

 Part 1 of the documentary features an interview with Alice about the influence her late husband has had on her life, both musically and spiritually. She describes him as being a spiritual person, although not tied to one organized religion. John was a vegetarian and took time out of each day to meditate.

After hearing for years that Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme” is the greatest jazz album of all-time, I picked it up and it just didn’t resonate with me the way stuff like Miles Davis’ “Walkin’” or Duke Ellington and Johnny Hodges’ “Side By Side” did Clearly the issue is mine and not the album’s, so I will have to give it another shot. I probably don’t know what to listen for, but so far, it doesn’t live up to the hype. 
What popular albums left you cold when you finally heard them?

Please excuse the artistic license with #saxaphone and #clarinet . musical instruments are a particular brain challenge for me. #commission #johncoltrane #alovesupreme #watercolor and #ink with a #raphael8404 #brush (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuXUXf4gp6N/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ov9ocpc31w2j

liner notes

“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.”

-a love supreme

"once you become aware of this force for unity in life, you can't ever forget it. it becomes part of everything you do. in that respect, this is an extension of a love supreme since my conception of that force keeps changing shape. my goal in meditating on this through music, however, remains the same. and that is to uplift people, as much as i can. to inspire them to realize more and more of their capacities for living meaningful lives. because there certainly is meaning to life."
