“Well this is {quote}A Love Supreme{quote} by John Coltrane. And I just remember being so taken with this record when I heard it.There’s just a deep sense of expression coming from him and the whole group, you know ..its .. they’re kind of at their zenith in terms of their inter play and there’s the depth of his playing ... is just stunning. The combination of emotion and sophistication and soulfulness and rhythm. I mean it’s just everything that’s so compelling about music you know and the message of this record being, you know, so connected to the Devine. Such a passion filled record but also there's so much contemplation in it. I just sort of hear the sort of yearning and the reaching out to The Almighty. So it’s just one that I’ve listened to over and over and over again. It never fails to inspire me.”Donny McCaslin: Band on the Wall, Manchester 30th October 2018John Coltrane: {quote}A Love Supreme{quote} - released 1965Donny McCaslin
