It's Black Music Month!
A Love Supreme, John Coltrane, 1965, :32

It really doesn't get any better than this. I love the insistent drumming that begins the third track, "Pursuance." From the cymbal wash at the start to the front and center talking tenor sax that dominates part four, this is just a complete, perfect jazz experience. Favorite tracks: well, it's a through-composed suite so it's really all one piece of music, but if I were making a Coltrane sampler and had to break it up, I'd be sure to include fully half of this album, "Part III: Pursuance" and "Part IV: Psalm."
