sphinxsix Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Haven't heard it yet, someone has.? What do you think.? "As far as most of us knew, there was only one live recording of A Love Supreme, a forty-seven-minute version performed on July 27,1965, at the Antibes Jazz Festival at Juan-les-Pins, France, in which Coltrane’s playing is exquisite yet somewhat restrained. But in 2013, a Seattle-based saxophonist named Steve Griggs discovered another live recording of A Love Supreme that had been taped by Coltrane’s friend, the saxophonist and flutist Joe Brazil, on October 2, 1965, at the end of a week’s engagement at the Penthouse, a Seattle club. More than twice as long as the studio recording, A Love Supreme: Live in Seattle is nothing short of a revelation: a bracing reimagining of the original, revealing the ways in which Coltrane’s understanding of his masterwork had evolved—and the radical new direction in which his music was moving."

WAM Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Qobuz shows just one track... Link to comment
sphinxsix Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 Got the same problem, The Rolling Stone claimed it would be out on 08.10 (October). RS - Trane Dodax.nl which has usually good prices and free delivery in the NL says: AVAILABLE FROM 22 October. Dodax - Trane From what I see - there will also be 24bit version. Seems that as for the remaining other 3 parts for now we have only this well known recording. Link to comment
Rexp Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I find digital versions of JC unlistenable, hope this is better. Link to comment

I'm pretty sure the sound was altered in some way to make it as listenable as possible. We don't have big choice of remasters, I think..

Is there any other musician who has his own church with his music performed during liturgy.? I guess Clapton got almost to this point years ago.. 1 hour ago, StephenJK said: Just a crazy notion, folks. Buy the CD. That's what I did. You don't have to wonder what it sounds like. You can listen to it. Before I even got the album, when we knew just "Psalm", I said - regardless what else is on it - for me it's the album of the year. BTW, remember about a decade ago when asked about the best albums of the year, I used to say with full conviction - the 'new' Miles, 'new' Trane and Hendrix Link to comment
