On Jan. 11, 2005, Palmetto Records will release A Love Supreme, the label debut of Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. The New York-based independent label has inked a deal to become the recording home for the LCJO. In addition, the LCJO will tour the United States in support of the album.
JALC Artist Director explained why he decided to arrange a big band version of the classic 1964 John Coltrane Impulse! album.
“A Love Supreme is, obviously, one of the most influential and revered of jazz recordings,” Marsalis said. “Most of his innovations were not in what was written, but in how his band played. His greatest importance and influence came through the extraordinary improvising of a saxophonist, pianist (McCoy Tyner), bassist (Jimmy Garrison) and drummer (Elvin Jones). Coltrane’s music was in his and his ensembles playing, and he could not have achieved what he did without musicians of any less originality and intensity that those in what is now called the classic John Coltrane Quartet.”
