A Love Supreme

Two things led me to this post. The first is a lunch spot I've been to a few times in the last month. Every time I go in there, they're playing John Coltrane.

Second is iTunes and their 'blue note' sale. Now, part of this sale is Coltrane's "Blue Train", which is a great record and you should probably get that one too, if you have the means. But...if you don't have "A Love Supreme" (I know, not a Blue Note recording but it's still on sale) and you have any interest at all in jazz, you need to just go ahead and pay the $8 at iTunes and get it now. Listen to the whole thing through the first time, then listen as you like. And if you can find the record at a used store, even better.
