John Coltrane saw the album-length suite A Love Supreme as his gift to God. The world has come to see it as a classic -- not only Coltrane's best-known work, but one of the most important and influential jazz records ever made. Now, for the first time, the full story of A Love Supreme is available in one package.
The first disc of this deluxe edition consists of A Love Supreme as released in 1965. The second disc includes the John Coltrane Quartet's only live performance of the suite, recorded at the Antibes jazz festival that summer and receiving its first authorized release. Most notably, it also includes the long-rumored sextet version of the opening movement, receiving its first release of any kind.
Mastered by the original recording engineer, Rudy Van Gelder, and containing extensive annotation and many photographs, this is the definitive edition of an indisputable masterpiece.

「祟高的愛」（A Love Supreme）無疑是約翰柯川最偉大的里程碑，相較於另一張偉大的經典「巨人腳步」（Giant Step），「祟高的愛」（A Love Supreme）對後期爵士樂手有決定性的影響。在這張專輯中，約翰柯川捨棄更多在硬咆勃（Hard Bop）時期強調的吹奏法，以沉鬱音色不斷帶領著不協調苦悶的音符重擊聆聽者的心靈，堪稱他劃時代的巨作。
約翰．柯川這位爵士樂的奇才，恐怕是二十世紀最特殊的一位樂手。他一方面不斷努力精進於演奏的表現，但另一方面卻又不時沈浸在精神恍惚的酒精世界裡。當他受至宗教洗禮後，他一直以聖者的身份自居，在演奏中呈現奉獻與敬拜精神。本輯正是他將長串的即與演奏發揮至極的高峰期，近於無懈可繫的演奏中，完美的四重奏搭配出四段意味深長的樂曲。對約翰．柯川而言，這個錄音可說是他以音樂演奏表達"祟高的愛"給樂迷的最佳獻禮。

The album was recorded at Van Gelder Studio with the Classic Quartet in between the Crescent and A Love Supreme sessions for the film Le chat dans le sac.Director Gilles Groulx was friends with Jimmy Garrison and he used that relationship to request songs for Coltrane's quartet to record.Groulx flew to the United States to attend the recording sessions for Coltrane's only soundtrack work and Coltrane recorded it without informing his record label. After three hours in the studio, Groulx took the master tapes with him to Canada.When the director ended up shelving most of the music, it went unreleased until 2019, when Coltrane's long-time label Impulse! Records decided to release it, with the original composition "Blue World" being released on August 16, 2019 along with the announcement of the album.
The recordings were stored away until the early 21st century, when an archivist from the National Film Board of Canada was tasked with assembling Groulx's work; the government agency negotiated with Impulse! to have the album released. This album comes a year after the successful release of Both Directions at Once: The Lost Album, also from Impulse!, capturing a Classic Quartet session from 1963 and is part of a trend of unreleased albums from 1950s and 1960s jazz greats released in the 2010s.

在B.B.King的Blues Club举办的本届爵士音乐奖的颁奖礼中，由蓝音符公司(Blue Note)发行，波普钢琴大师赛罗尼斯·蒙克(Thelonious Monk)与英年早逝的萨克斯演奏大师约翰·柯川(John Coltrane)合作的现场专辑《Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall》被评为今年的“年度最佳专辑”。这张专辑是Thelonious Monk四重奏和John Coltrane在1957年合作演出的现场。两人的合作虽然十分短暂，但对爵士音乐的发展却有着重要的历史意义。这张专辑后面还有段故事的...
事情是这样的，1957年11月29日，钢琴大师Thelonious Monk和萨克斯风之王John Coltrane等四位音乐家，在卡内基音乐厅举办了一场演奏会。这场演奏会当时并没有唱片公司作录音发行，不过当时专门对全美播报新闻信息的单位，「美国之声」〈Voice of America〉，利用他们的广播节目时段作了这场音乐会的录音实况转播。播完后，转播带贴上标签就丢进或许是库房什么的地方了。后来，包括这张转播带连同其它许多数据，再一同被移放到位于华盛顿特区的「国会图书馆」〈Library of Congress〉永久保存，大家也就忘了里头有这么一张录音。有趣的是，「国会图书馆」根据卷标为所有录音数据分类，但这张卡内基音乐厅录音的卷标却标示的不清不楚。也就是说，万一哪天有人想起来Thelonious Monk与John Coltrane的音乐会其实是有录音纪录的，想挖出来可是比登天还难。这时候，运气就显的格外重要了。公元2005年1月，「国会图书馆」里一位叫做Larry Applebaum的管理员，他本身对爵士乐也极有研究，在作例行的数字转文件作业〈将老录音转成数字音源延长保存寿命〉时，发现了一张老带子上面注明着：「11/29/57 Carnegie Jazz Concert」，转档时一听可不得了，原来这场传说中的录音确实存在！接下来的事就可以想象了，消息传出去，各大唱片公司开始竞标这场音乐会的发行权，而最后则是由Thelonious Monk之子T.S. Monk与Blue Note Records负责发行。消失的录音重见天日。对爵士迷来说，这个大发现就好比公元1947年，三名少年在死海之滨无意发现的圣经古卷那般重要。这场录音毫无疑问的将是本世纪爵士乐的最大惊奇，终将列名千古。

Impressions is a hodgepodge of memorable John Coltrane performances from the 1961-1963 period. "India" and "Impressions" are taken from Trane's famous November 1961 engagement at the Village Vanguard; bass clarinetist Eric Dolphyis heard on the former while the latter features a marathon solo from Coltrane on tenor. Also included on this set are 1962's "Up 'Gainst the Wall" and the classic of the album, 1963's "After the Rain." [This edition of Impressions includes the ten-plus-minute bonus track "Dear Old Stockholm."

Live in Japan is a four-disc box set by American saxophonist John Coltrane and his last group, featuring the quintet of Coltrane, his wife/pianist Alice, saxophonist/bass clarinetist Pharoah Sanders, bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Rashied Ali. The 4-CD set compiles all the music issued as three albums in the seventies by Impulse!; Concert In Japan (1973, US 2-LP, electronically processed for compatible quadrophonic/stereo), Coltrane In Japan (1974, Japan 3-LP (side six is blank), mono) and Second Night In Tokyo (1976, Japan 3-LP (side six contains an interview, mono). (Some of this material was also reissued as two 2-LP sets in 1980 by MCA under the titles Coltrane In Tokyo Vol. 1 and Coltrane In Tokyo Vol. 2) The first CD issues were by Impulse! Japan as two 2-CD sets: Live In Japan Vol. 1 (same as "Coltrane In Japan") and Live In Japan Vol. 2 (same as "Second Night In Tokyo"). The US 4-CD edition includes both of these volumes, with identical mastering from the original mono tapes. The side six interview from "Second Night In Tokyo" has never been reissued on any CD edition.
Recorded live on Coltrane's only Japanese tour in July 1966 at two Tokyo venues, Shinjuku Kosei Nenkin Hall and Sankei Hall, it is taken from mono radio broadcasts. It is notable for the presence of alto saxophone by both Coltrane and Sanders; neither man often recorded with the instrument.
By this point in his career, Coltrane was firmly enmeshed into the avant-garde style of jazz. Sanders, who was an innovator of free jazz, influenced Coltrane's playing through his technical use of overblowing and fierce vibrations of the reed, and this record is remarkable for its use of multiphonics, overtones, and other extended musical techniques from both players.
