About
Recorded in late 1965 on the culminating evening of a historic week-long run at The Penthouse in Seattle, A Love Supreme: Live In Seattle is a musical revelation of historic importance, capturing Coltrane as he began to expand his classic quartet—adding Pharoah Sanders on second saxophone and Donald Garrett on second bass—and catapulting him into the intense, spiritually focused final phase of his career.

December 2021
This has to be pick of-the-month for historical interest alone, but for those of us who admire the passion and abandonment of late-period Coltrane this is a gift. Hardly a comfortable ‘listen’, but the passionate intensity feels therapeutically cathartic in these anxious times.
November 2021
An astonishing record documenting an arresting moment, it cannot be recommended highly enough.
27th October 2021
A previously unknown recording from a small Seattle club in 1965 documents one of the saxophonist’s signature works—spiritual, searching, unstoppable—as never heard before.
