December 1964

Recorded in a single session at Van Gelder Studio, A Love Supreme is widely regarded as the greatest jazz album ever made and one of the supreme artistic statements in American music. The spiritual suite expressed Coltrane's devotion to God and expanded jazz's expressive possibilities beyond all prior limits.

Coltrane's four-part suite — Acknowledgement, Resolution, Pursuance, Psalm — stands as the greatest jazz album of the post-bop era and one of the most spiritually searching works in all of American music. It sold over 500,000 copies in its first year.
