I love this period of music history, where pop/rock albums could sit side by side in popularity with instrumental jazz records and other genres. I honestly hadn't realised that 'a love supreme' was released this late though!
One of the more popular jazz albums ever released, and, like Miles' "Kind of blue" it's an exploration in modal jazz.
I somewhat prefer Coltrane's "giant steps" album for its concise, hooky yet virtuosic bop. Also, some of his later more exploratory releases, but a love supreme is still an amazing record. Coltrane's band at the time was unsurpassed, especially his drummer Elvin Jones... mindblowing ability!
