NOTES
On December 9, 1964, John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Jimmy Garrison, and Elvin Jones walked into Rudy Van Gelder's studio, and when the evening's session was over the reels held something called "A Love Supreme."

This recording is taken directly from the two master CDs sent to public radio stations around the country for limited broadcast between Nov 1, 2002 and Oct 31, 2003. It consists of music and interviews (some with Coltrane himself) and is largely an unabashed celebration of one of the greatest recordings ever made.
