February is traditionally jazz month at Classic Album Sundays so we decided to feature one of the most-requested John Coltrane albums:  A Love Supreme.

The album was recorded in one day at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio and features the classic Coltrane quartet: Jimmy Garrison on double bass, McCoy Tyner on piano, Elvin Jones on drums and percussion and John Coltrane on tenor saxophone and for the first time, vocals.

Coltrane’s masterpiece was released in January 1965 on Impulse! Records and is not only regarded as the fulcrum of Coltrane’s career, but also as one of the greatest albums ever made. The album is made up of four movements: “Acknowledgement”, “Resolution”, “Pursuance” and “Psalm” and is regarded as a spiritual work. Read more about the album here.

Join us for one of our listening sessions around the world to hear this incredible recording as never before on one of our world class audiophile sound systems. Listening guidelines apply.
