Featuring interviews with more than one hundred musicians, producers, friends, and family members; unpublished interviews with Coltrane and bassist Jimmy Garrison; and scores of never-before-seen photographs, <i>A Love Supreme</i> balances biography, cultural context, and musical analysis in a passionate and revealing portrait.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The emotions I experienced while reading Ashley Kahn's <i>A Love Supreme</i> gave me a feeling of beauty, elegance, excellence, grace and dignity.
