John Coltrane - A Love Supreme: The Complete Masters (3LP)

Experience John Coltrane's most legendary album like never before with 'A Love Supreme: The Complete Masters'. Until now, the complete picture of what happened on those two days, including all takes, overdubs, and even studio chatter, has been unavailable. Verve Music Group proudly releases A Love Supreme: The Complete Masters, in celebration of the album's 50th Anniversary. It includes unreleased recordings taken from reels from the personal collection of John Coltrane and originally recorded in incredible sonic detail by Rudy Van Gelder, along with revised notes and detailed information on these amazing lost sessions.

On December 9th, 1964, John Coltrane and his classic quartet (Elvin Jones, Jimmy Garrison and McCoy Tyner) went into the legendary Van Gelder Studio in New Jersey and recorded A Love Supreme - the four-part suite that has influenced musicians and reached generations of fans far beyond the jazz world. Far less known is the fact that Coltrane, his classic quartet and two additional musicians - the legendary saxophonist Archie Shepp and second bassist, Dr. Art Davis - returned to the studio the next day to cut the opening part of the suite again.
