A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane's Signature Album by Ashley Kahn, Elvin Jones

5.0

This account is very detailed, very well written, and contains a ton of photos and interviews. Kahn puts "A Love Supreme" in (music) historical context as well. I probably listened to the album about 30 times while reading this book, and thanks to Kahn's scholarship, I hear new things all the time. Of course it's such an amazing piece of music that I'd probably get new things out of it anyway, but Kahn's book is a worthy companion to a world class album.
