Description
Celebrating 60 years since its original 1964 recording, A Love Supreme remains one of the most revered jazz albums of all time—a spiritual and musical landmark from saxophone legend John Coltrane. Originally captured in a single take and released in 1965, the four-part suite has since achieved Gold certification in the UK and Platinum status in the US, universally recognized as Coltrane’s magnum opus.
Now available for the first time on double vinyl, this release features the only known live performance of A Love Supreme by the original quartet: John Coltrane (tenor sax), McCoy Tyner (piano), Jimmy Garrison (bass), and Elvin Jones (drums). Recorded on July 26, 1965 at the 6th International Jazz Festival in Antibes, France—Coltrane’s final European tour—the concert was partially filmed by French television, but the full audio performance has been restored from the original Charly archives for this historic release.
Presented in a deluxe 5mm spine sleeve, this is an essential addition for Coltrane collectors and jazz aficionados alike.
