Editorial Reviews

This newly discovered live-recording of a performance of the Love Supreme suite is a revelation. Recorded at The Penthouse in Seattle on October 2, 1965, this recording transports the listener to a prime seat for piece of musical history. While not studio-quality audio, the power of the performance shines through. This version is also of the full suite and features an expanded band that includes the same Classic Quartet and Pharoah Sanders in his first official gig as part of Coltrane's group.

Don’t bother

Considering this is an amateur live recording on 1/4 inch, it’s understandable that the sound will not be "studio quality". However, Coltrane's sound is completely buried. I would rate the mix as horrible. Too bad that an historic session was ruined.

Just because it’s Coltrane (and I like Coltrane) doesn’t mean it’s great. I’m thinking they should have left this one on the shelf.

I’ve listened to jazz for years and this is nothing more than ones idea of self expression, and personally, I found it to be very unpleasant to the ears and difficult to listen to at best. Don’t get me wrong, some like that, even love it. I was hoping for something that would move me, but instead it moved me to return it.

re: a hard listen

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2021

Some wise person once said that avant-garde jazz is a lot more fun to talk about than to hear. So it is with this recording.

On the one hand, a lost session, and a live version of A Love Supreme, is something to celebrate. But while the studio version is all spiritual yearning, this set is more spiritual chaos. The music (and some will have a hard time calling this "music") is at times pure cacophony. This set is late Coltrane, which even as great a fan as Cornel West finds, to his evident embarrassment, all but unlistenable.

So, if you like late Coltrane, such as "Live in Japan," you'll probably love this record. But if you prefer the middle period, then you'll probably play it once, and never again.

Work of art!

The classics are the classics for a reason. This live version of the classic A Love Supreme is simply a mandatory addition to a vinyl collection.

From a sound quality standpoint, the vinyl is super quiet, which is good, because there are enough quieter passages to benefit from it. Unfortunately, even though this is a live recording, a lot of the actual instruments are coming directly from the (mostly left) speaker, instead of from a nice, deeply layered center image. I’m willing to overlook that in exchange for the record of the event itself.

The gatefold is medium quality; not quite on par with Blue Note Tone Poet, but it’s still nice. Inner sleeves are plain jane white with the cutout for the label… seriously Impex? This is an audiophile record, so even the cheap white ploy-lined sleeve would have shown you care about protecting and preserving the vinyl. Sigh.

Get this one while it’s in print, folks. Highly recommended.

Wow !

I enjoyed it more on the second listen. Yes, the saxophones are somewhat muted, but still audible. Yes, elvin jones’ drumming can somewhat overwhelm the other instruments especially the cymbals at times. Yes, there are rambling bass solos that go on too long. Yes, pharaoh sanders’ playing can be challenging to listen to for extended periods.
But, the performance just continues to draw you into it as it progresses. It certainly is “ different “ from the studio session. In the end, the whole cd with its’ “ challenges “ along the way, me left with a felling of amazement and joy. I continue to be amazed at the powerful spirit and quest for enlighten that Coltrane strived for in his final ten years on the planet.
This cd is recommended but might be to intense and unnerving for the casual listener of Coltrane,

Spirituality, beauty, and intensity supremely combined

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2021

Verified Purchase

'A LOVE SUPREME' LIVE IN SEATTLE: This version is longer and more intense but just as beautiful. Also, it is freer. You still clearly hear all four movements but improvisations are more open. Donal Garrett (b), Carlos Ward (alto sax), and Pharoah Sanders (Tenor, percassion) add intensity to the already intense Quartet and they also add lots of freedom to how they all play and sound. Essentially, it is definitely "later" Coltrane, i.e., after recording, e.g., "Ascension" and "Meditations for Sextet" (also with Pharoah Sanders). The fact we know songs so well, however, helps to "see" and appreciate what they are doing on the stage.

After the first very unfocussed listening, at least 4 - 4.5 (maybe more, I will listen again with full focus as soon as I can). 5 stars, in part, because of enormous historical importance of these recordings.

Miraculous!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 23, 2021

No other word for it! After years of collecting John Coltrane albums, finding a new one is as close to a miracle as makes no difference. And what an album! There are already two sets of recordings from Coltrane's week at The Penthouse in Seattle in 1965: Live in Seattle on Impulse and The Unissued Seattle Broadcast on RLR Records. But this is buried treasure, a recording of the famous A Love Supreme set down on the last night of the gig, 2 October 1965. It amounts to an amateur recording, captured on the club proprietor's Ampex reel-to-reel using 1/4" tape and two mikes suspended above the stage. Astonishingly, the tapes are still in excellent condition, and the re-mastering has come up beautifully. The only break (when tapes had to be switched) is virtually unnoticeable, given the professional editing. It's nice, too, that Japan's (if not the world's) supreme Coltrane fan, Yasuhiro Fujioka from Osaka, has been also been involved in this release. And the music? Wow! At 75 minutes, it's well over twice the length of the original studio recording, and the musicians added to Coltrane's classic quartet, Pharoah Sanders, Carlos Ward and Donald Rafael Garrett, are an integral part of an extraordinary live gig, with brilliant solos from all concerned, not least Jimmy Garrison and Elvin Jones in the extra 'Interludes'. It is a musical and spiritual triumph.

A rare live version of 'A Love Supreme' recorded at The Penthouse, Seattle in 1965.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 27, 2021

Verified Purchase

As someone who bought John Coltrane's original 'A Love Supreme' studio album when it was issued in 1965, I'm glad to have survived long enough to hear this live club version.
It was recorded by Coltrane's friend and saxophonist, Joe Brazil, at The Penthouse, Seattle on October 2, 1965 and the existence of the tapes were known to only a few people.
The classic quartet of Coltrane(tenor sax); McCoy Tyner(piano); Jimmy Garrison(bass) & Elvin Jones(drums) was augmented by Pharoah Sanders(tenor sax); Carlos Ward(alto sax) & Donald Garrett(bass) plus various percussion.
This performance of ALS is longer(75 minutes), wilder and darker than the 1964 studio version and is gripping from start to finish.
The recording quality is far from ideal but this is outweighed by the chance to hear a rare live performance of 'A Love Supreme'.
Anyone who loves Coltrane's original spiritual jazz masterpiece should hear this live Seattle version of ALS as well as the better recorded one at Antibes on July 26, 1965 and available on a 2-CD set 'A Love Supreme'(Deluxe Edition) - Impulse! 589 945-2.

Really disappointing release

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

When I heard that this was going to be released I was really looking forward to it. I'm a huge Coltrane fan and A Love Supreme is one of my favourite recordings. But this was a major disappointment. It's just too avant garde for my ears and the the drums and piano are really to the front of the mix making Coltrane sound like he playing off stage, which depending on your point of view might be a blessing in disguise.

This release has been revised positively by most of the reviewers here and in many of the published reviews, but it just didn't work for me. I gave it three stars because of its historical significance and the packaging/booklet which is superb.

I'm hoping for a better listening experience with the upcoming Art Blakey live release!

A passion supreme

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 25, 2021

Verified Purchase

There are few things to know before you buy.
It's a field recording, so there is ambient noise (people chatting, applause, club sounds).
The bass sometimes gets muffled out as piano and drums are much louder.
This is McCoy Tuner's album. He's just blistering throughout.
It's much wilder and more passionate than the studio album and there is a lot of additional material.
Personally, I like it better than the original and it is presently my favourite Coltrane recording.
Animal from the Muppet Show is playing the drums. Killer!

Reviewed in France on October 26, 2021

Cet inédit d'octobre 1965 nous est restitués aujourd’hui, en octobre 2021, soit 56 ans après les faits (1). Dans l'admirable biographie qu'il a consacrée au saxophoniste ( John Coltrane, sa vie, son œuvre ), Lewis Porter évoque ce « live » capté à Seattle trois jours seulement après un tout autre « concert en direct » dans les mêmes lieux, au Penthouse Club ( Live in Seattle , Impulse ! 2CD). L’année suivante, s’y distinguera un certain Wes Montgomery ( Smokin’ in Seattle ). C’est donc une découverte passionnante, et ce dès les premières notes... « A Love Supreme, Part I, Acknowledgement » n'étonnera personne de par sa durée (21 :53), car lors de ses performances scéniques, Trane avait l'habitude d'étirer sa musique à foison. La session studio (‎ A Love Supreme ) avait été enregistrée le 10 décembre 1964 pour être publiée l’année suivante. Aujourd’hui, j’ai encore du mal à imaginer qu’il restait à son auteur moins de trois ans à vivre. Sa production ultime est souvent considérée comme la plus impétueuse, voire la plus hostile. Jusqu’à présent, je connaissais le « Live à Juan-les-Pins » publié par le label Impulse ! en 2002 ( A Love Supreme Deluxe Edition et la restauration de 2015 dans A Love Supreme Complete Masters ). A Seattle, j’y découvre un collectif dans une sorte de « work in progress », sur un peu plus de une heure (1h15). L’objet ne s’adressera pas à « tout le monde ». A mon avis, c’est un atelier à réserver aux « aficionados » du saxophoniste. Pour les néophytes, je ne saurai donc recommander pareil volume... Ni le Live at Half Note ni le Live at Temple University (publiés respectivement en 2005 et 2014). Pour goûter cette musique, il faut être soi-même un peu déjanté, car tout y est volcanique. Le tout jeune amateur pourra toutefois se tourner vers ‎ My Favorite Things at Newport (publication beaucoup plus accessible mais néanmoins exigeante). Sinon, pour une bonne introduction à l’univers de Trane, écoutez donc ‎ Coltrane’s Sound .

Mais revenons à cette captation du 2 octobre 1965 au Penthouse de Seattle. Les prises restituent le son original mais ne sont pas toujours de la meilleure qualité. Un peu dommage. Deux micros seulement. On entend Coltrane parfois loin derrière la batterie d’Elvin Jones… Mais au final, je m’en moque un peu. Première écoute : c'est d’abord ce déficit sonore sur le sax ténor qui retient mon attention. Deuxième écoute : la saturation sur celui-ci au tout début, sur le premier titre. Troisième écoute : je ne me concentre plus dessus. C’est quand même loin d'être catastrophique et bien supérieur à la plupart des bootlegs et aux émissions radiophoniques de l’époque. Ici, pas d’intervenant pour présenter les titres. C’est le « direct » dans toute son urgence ! Le choix éditorial est donc cohérent et tout à fait acceptable. Coltrane n'a pas souvent joué cette « suite en quatre mouvements ». Très vite, il s’embarque vers une nouvelle Ascension . D’autres concerts avec la même configuration qu'à Seattle ont eu lieu au Jazz Workshop de San Francisco (quand Trane, en septembre 1965, est allé rendre visite à la famille d'Eric Dolphy après la mort de celui-ci). Cela laisse présager de nouveaux inédits, je pense. Ainsi dix mois après la version studio, et trois mois après la performance au festival d’Antibes, voici la troisième version connue de cet Amour Suprême. Il y a des moments forts qui me laissent sur le carreau, et je sens bien la nouvelle direction prise par le Prométhée du jazz, ce Titan du saxophone : cette façon de déborder, et de tout contenir à la fois. Mais c’est Elvin Jones sur le solo intitulé « Interlude 2 », Jimmy Garrison sur « Interlude 4 » et McCoy Tyner sur « Pursuance » qui me captivent. Du coup, je trouve ce concert presque aussi passionnant que le Live in Seattle déjà existant et celui tenu l’année suivante à la Temple University , sur un tout autre registre, certes (2).

Pourquoi cette moindre préférence ?, demanderont certains. Parce qu’on est seulement au début de « l’entreprise d’auto-démolition du sens mélodique » (3). Cela dit, impossible ici de mettre moins de 4 étoiles. Quant au « quartet augmenté », si certains n’ont pas toujours été emballés par l’idée, c’est bien regrettable. Vous me direz que le pianiste, comme le batteur, ne l’étaient pas non plus à ce moment précis (sic), même s’ils n’en laissent rien paraître. L’ajout de Pharoah Sanders (sax ténor) et de Carlos Ward (sax alto), de Donald Raphael Garrett (contrebasse) aux côtés de McCoy Tyner (piano), Jimmy Garrison (contrebasse) et Elvin Jones (batterie), témoignait d’une volonté totale de la part du leader. La volonté de déployer encore davantage ses ailes, quitte à se les brûler. C’est d’une ampleur inouïe. Celle d’un musicien progressant vers l’avenir, vers le Cosmos, et ne se satisfaisant jamais du passé. En tout cas, rien que pour le jeu de McCoy Tyner, ça vaut le détour. Son solo de plus de 10 minutes sur le sublime « Pursuance », plage 5, est à tomber par terre. Mieux : jamais je ne l’ai entendu aussi volubile, aussi engagé, aussi inspiré (rien ne l’arrête !). Et de quelle façon il prend tous ces risques ! Fourmillant d’idées ici et là (écoutez-le par exemple à partir du minutage 10 :00, son solo commence à partir du minutage 5 :09), il forme avec la rythmique une ossature qui dépasse l’entendement. Limites des mots. Quand Coltrane conclut le thème (même si ça me fait chier qu’il soit en retrait – fallait faire avec les moyens du bord), ça reste pêchu, magnifique, superbe. Le public est aux anges, et il y a de quoi ! Ah, si nous aussi, nous avions pu être là ! N’est-ce pas Dave ? Ecoutez Selflessness – The Music of John Coltrane gravé en studio par le collectif de Dave Liebman (le saxophoniste le plus coltranien du circuit jazzique). L’album vient de paraître chez Dot Time records en même temps qu’un superbe coffret de 5CD intitulé ‎ Empathy .

____________________________________________________________

(1) Grâces soient rendues à Joe Brazil : il est celui qui a enregistré ces bandes au fameux Penthouse Club. De plus amples renseignements dans les notes de livret (près de 20 pages). Digipack trois battants. Le disque est inséré dans l'un d'eux. Pas de protection pour le sortir (une mini-pochette cotonneuse pour protéger le CD aurait été bienvenue).

(2) Quelques semaines après ce live à Seattle, McCoy et Elvin quitteront le navire… Seul restera Jimmy Garrison (le contrebassiste). Faut dire que la durée d’un collectif, quand elle atteint le cap des cinq ans, c’est déjà bien. C’est même plutôt rare.

(3) Expression employée par l’impeccable François-René Simon dans le dossier consacré à A Love Supreme (« Jamais Dieu Sans Trois » : numéro d’octobre 2021 de Jazz mag, un numéro à ne pas manquer). Un CHOC est décerné à ce disque. Dans le dossier (deux pages), François-René Simon a par ailleurs raison de rappeler le lien entre John Coltrane et l’AACM de Chicago (Association for Advanced and Creative Musicians)... Voir par exemple la production d'Anthony Braxton (on écoutera les deux sets à Santa Cruz, 1993), ou encore la musique du trompettiste Wadada Leo Smith (notamment chez TUM records). Mais c'est l'année suivante, avec l'arrivée d'Alice McLeod (Alice Coltrane) et Rashied Ali (batterie), que la Musique de Trane croîtra encore en intensité. Pour moi, A Love Supreme est surtout L’œuvre d'un Quartet. Quant au livret, c'est une mine de renseignements, avec les récits critiques signés Ashley Kahn et Lewis Porter en personne ! Enfin, pour les curieux/ses, je ne peux m'empêcher de penser à A Love Supreme quand j'écoute Up and Down (plage 7) dans le très bon M.O.M. , le tout dernier corpus de Jowee Omicil (sax soprano/sax ténor) en trio avec François et Louis Moutin (respectivement à la contrebasse et à la batterie). Check it out, folks.

(4) J'en profite pour faire une petite rétrospective sur trois autres captations live de John Coltrane (déjà chroniquées de par le passé). Cette nouvelle publication est pour moi l'occasion de les ressortir et de les réécouter, avec un jeu de mot en guise de titre : get on board the moving trane... (sauter dans le train en marche/en mouvement...). Bonne écoute à toutes et à tous.
