John Coltrane – A Love Supreme, Part 1: Acknowledgement – Mp3 Download
The sone is relased from the album, A Love Supreme begins with the bang of a gong (tam-tam) and cymbal washes on the first track, “Acknowledgement“. Jimmy Garrison enters on double bass with the four-note motif that lays the foundation of the movement. Coltrane begins a solo.
He plays variations on the motif until he repeats the four notes thirty-six times. The motif becomes the vocal chant “a love supreme”, sung by Coltrane accompanying himself through overdubs nineteen times. According to Rolling Stone, this movement’s four-note theme is “the humble foundation of the suite”.
