I wanted to offer this up as an anniversary celebration of what many have called one of the most influential recordings ever made. It was 40 years ago this week (December 9, 1964) that John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones walked into Rudy Van Gelder's studio, and when the evening's session was over the reels held something called "A Love Supreme." This is an exceptional 2-disc documentary and I hope many people will convert this and listen to it by the evening of December 9, 2004. (Don't worry if it's after that date, it'll still sound just as sweet.) You can't always catch magic in a bottle, and it's even more rare on audio tape, but when you do... well, it's worth remembering, and it's worth celebrating. This WBGO documentary hosted by Mos' Def does just that. John Coltrane changed the way I listen to music and I'll be forever grateful. ENJOY! + PT ================================================= THE MAKING of A LOVE SUPREME, hosted by Mos' Def Fall 2002 WBGO-88.3 FM Newark, NJ http://www.johncoltrane.com http://www.wbgo.org Disc 1 - 59.00 (documentary: interviews and music) Disc 2 - 59.00 (documentary: interviews and music) elation elegance exaltation NOTES This recording is taken directly from the two master CDs sent to public radio stations around the country for limited broadcast between Nov 1, 2002 and Oct 31, 2003. It seems a shame for such a remarkable historic documentary to be lost to the ages due to limited broadcast rights, and in the hopes of keeping it from the bootleg market this is offered for free download and sharing.

The rest of the fine Coltrane catalog is still available through the many fine shops selling great jazz. ===== "Thrice you have rescued me from falling grace: Once when I was a beggar and you were the rain on my face, Once when I was crippled and you carried me, And once when the blindness of others taught me how to see..." -- The Slip, "Tinderbox" (Angels Come On Time, 2002) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
