Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Love Supreme is a studio album by John Coltrane, recorded on December 9, 1964, and released in January 1965 on Impulse! Records. It's generally considered to be his greatest work and one of the greatest jazz albums of all time, period (in fact, it regularly dukes it out for the #1 spot on critics' lists with Kind of Blue by Miles Davis, which also features performances by Coltrane). It's some sort of a spiritual Concept Album, divided into a four part suite: "Acknowledgement", "Resolution", "Pursuance", and "Psalm". Compared to his previous albums, it also sold better; it is probably the best-selling free jazz (or even avant-garde jazz) album of all time.The album manuscript is one of the National Museum of American History's "Treasures of American History", and part of the collection of the Smithsonian Institution. Time Magazine included the album, in their 2006 list of 100 timeless and essential albums. It was listed at #47 in Rolling Stone: 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

All Drummers Are Animals: Elvin Jones gets several solos on the album, and even when he isn't soloing he's packing a lot of power into his playing. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| A Love Supreme (Music) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: There's nothing in the title or font and back of the gatefold album cover that implies that the album will be a spiritual journey. Most people would probably think it's about a romantic love for a partner, though the more religiously inclined might guess it. However, the inner gatefold makes Coltrane's intentions clear with his highly spiritual liner notes. | |

Epic Rocking | |
| A Love Supreme (Music) / int_74149c93 | comment |
Epic Rocking: No songs from the original album are fewer than seven minutes long, with the longest hitting 10:42. The bonus disc has mostly very long songs, too, with the longest hitting 21:31. The intro and breakdown are the only tracks that don't hit at least six minutes in length, and they probably don't count. | |

Shout-Out | |
| A Love Supreme (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: U2 mentions the album in their song "Angel of Harlem" from Rattle and Hum. The track "Friend of the People" by Lupe Fiasco, has him provide a Freestyle Version, over Coltrane "A Love Supreme." Artists as diverse as tenor Joshua Redman, John McLaughlin, Carlos Santana, and The Divine Comedy have credited the album, as one of their greatest influences. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| A Love Supreme (Music) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Compared to a lot of other free jazz experiments (especially Coltrane's), this one is quite gentle, which is probably one of the reasons it sold better than many of them. That's not to say there are no moments of dissonance, but they are relatively few in quantity and short in duration in comparison to the number found on many other Coltrane discs from around the same period. | |

| A Love Supreme (Music) / int_d028ca10 | comment |
Deliberately Monochrome: The album cover. Even the record label got into the act. Normally, Impulse! used a black and orange color scheme for their albums' graphic design. However, for A Love Supreme, they went with a black and white scheme, visually signifying that they thought this album was important. | |

Thank the Maker | |
| A Love Supreme (Music) / int_d8231198 | comment |
Thank the Maker: "A Love Supreme" expresses Coltrane's supreme love to higher powers. He had interest in Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism for several years, and this came out in this work. | |

Album Title Drop | |
| A Love Supreme (Music) / int_dbc664dd | comment |
Album Title Drop: None of the songs share the album's title. However, "Acknowledgement" (in the album version; the live performance and most alternate takes are completely instrumental) ends with Coltrane putting down his sax and chanting "A love supreme, a love supreme..." into the mic. | |

Fading into the Next Song | |
| A Love Supreme (Music) / int_f3cf057b | comment |
Fading into the Next Song: "Pursuance" leads into "Psalm" in both the studio and live versions. Even bearing in mind that it's a live performance, there isn't really any gap in between "Acknowledgement" and "Resolution" in the live version either. If you weren't looking at your media player, you wouldn't notice the transition. The gap between the two tracks is more distinct in the studio performance. | |
