A Love Supreme is not a free jazz album.


''A Love Supreme'' is a studio album by Music/JohnColtrane, recorded on December 9, 1964, and released in January 1965 on Creator/ImpulseRecords. It's some sort of a spiritual ConceptAlbum, divided into a four part suite: "Acknowledgement", "Resolution", "Pursuance", and "Psalm". Compared to his previous albums, it also sold better; it is probably the best-selling free jazz (or even avant-garde jazz) album of all time. The album manuscript is one of the National Museum of American History's "Treasures of American History", and part of the collection of the Smithsonian Institution.
