[307] a love supreme, a love supreme, a love supreme, a love supreme, a love supreme, a love supreme
LAST DAY. I'm so tired, and we've hit the time of year when the sun comes at me across the dealership directly in my fucking face TWICE a shift instead of just in the afternoon as it sets. It's still very cold, but we did very briefly pip up above -30 degrees yesterday for the first time in almost a week before dropping back down overnight, so there's hope? Maybe? Maybe hope will come with a proper night's sleep? Sleep maybe? I'm so sleep?
Wendy's is really pushing their breakfasts right now, and I am... susceptible to fast food marketing, so let's see how this goes.
Ten hours to freedom.
Wikipedia Sez: A Love Supreme is an album by American jazz saxophonist John Coltrane. He recorded it in one session on December 9, 1964, at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, leading a quartet featuring pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones. A Love Supreme was released by Impulse! Records in January 1965. It ranks among Coltrane's best-selling albums and is widely considered as his masterpiece.
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Avant-Garde Jazz, Free Jazz, Modal Music, Post-Bop, Jazz Instrument, Saxophone Jazz
Release Date: January 1965
Prior Familiarity: Low, I've honestly never really fucked with Coltrane.
What I Did While Listening: One mission out of The Walk, still trying to get past all those police blockades. Went with the deluxe edition because it's pretty short otherwise (one single suite, really), so I then picked it back up after my shower and just unwound before bed with the alternate takes.
Verdict: It's... not bad? Vastly overrated IMO, but also it's a lot honkier than I generally prefer jazz to be. Not honky in the white way, but in the way where the sax often just goes HONK HONK HONK SKREEEEEEEE in ways that my ears simply do not enjoy? Yeah, it's a passionate tonal poem I guess, but I dug it a lot more during the bits where it's just the rhythm trio going nuts without John at all.
Favourite Song: I don't remember which movement had the least amount of sax in it; Pursuance, maybe?
