A New Live Recording of John Coltrane's 'A Love Supreme' - a podcast by WNYC

John Coltrane's album, A Love Supreme, is celebrated as one of the most important jazz albums in history. There had only ever been one known live recording of the album in full, that is...until now. Tapes were recently discovered of a performance on October 2, 1965, when Coltrane was recorded at The Penthouse in Seattle. The album, A Love Supreme: Live in Seattle, has been re-mastered for release on October 22. Ashley Kahn, professor of music history at NYU, and Lewis Porter, professor of music at Rutgers University-Newark, who both wrote liner notes for the new release, join us for a Listening Party to talk about the history and importance of the record.
