LEXINGTON COMMUNITY EDUCATION A Love Supreme: A Celebration of John Coltrane's Masterpiece

Coltrane’s A Love Supreme, was a bestseller when first released in 1965, and continues to be Coltrane’s best-selling al­bum. The album announces and celebrates a profound and serious interfaith state­ment of Coltrane’s devotion to God. That Coltrane cared about this album more than any other is clear and this record marks the only time that he was involved with album design, and the only time that he wrote the album notes. Over fifty years later, A Love Supreme continues to uniquely move and inspire people.

Jerry Bergonzi is a fine, high-powered tenor saxophonist with a tone influenced by John Coltrane, a mastery of chord changes, and a strong musical imagination. Lewis Porter is the New York-based pianist who wrote John Coltrane: His Life and Music, considered “the book” on John Coltrane--and the only book endorsed by Liebman, Lovano, and Coltrane’s son, saxophonist Ravi Coltrane.

The opportunity to hear Bergonzi and Porter perform all four movements of Coltrane’s signature album, and answer questions on A Love Supreme, is not to be missed.
