A Love Supreme is a jazz studio album recorded by John Coltrane's quartet in December 1964 and released by Impulse! Records (catalogue number AS-77) in February 1965. It is generally considered to be among Coltrane's greatest works, as it melded the hard bop sensibilities of his early career with the free jazz style he adopted later.

"1965 Favourite song: "Psalm" Favourite moment: The percussion throughout "Psalm" and the otherworldly feeling in it. Like God actually WAS connected with Coltrane on the album."

TIME's 100 Greatest Albums (100 music items)

"“This album is a humble offering to Him, wrote John Coltrane in the linter notes to his masterwork A Love Supreme. "An attempt to say 'Thank You God' through our work." After groundbreaking work with Thelonious Monk and Miles Davis, Coltrane had taken flight as a solo artist. But after his monumental 1959 Giant Steps, he had taken his powerhouse "sheets of sound" approach to the tenor saxophone as far as he could go.
