Jimmy Garrison (bass)
Elvin Jones (drums)
Right from the very first hearing, absolutely every single jazz critic shared the same opinion - whether trained musicians or not, true or would-be jazz expert: A Love Supreme is John Coltrane's most important recording. And the rave reviews which appeared in the magazines Downbeat, Jazz Hot, Jazz Podium and Swing journal reflected this: critics all over the world, in America, Europe and Japan recognized that Coltrane's deep religious belief had influenced both his approach to life and his music-making. It not only enabled him to express himself with great intensity but also lent him the necessary inner peace to conceive a work of almost 40 minutes in length and to lead his quartet along the same path as himself.
Recorded in 1964.

I purchased this new from Amazon. It seems at some point Verve switched to using the Analogue Productions release while still retaining the existing leaflet and inserts. The back claims that it's a single layer SACD, but the disc is definitely the AP hybrid SACD.
