A Love Supreme (6th International Jazz Festival Juan-Les-Pins, Antibes, France)

This recording captures The John Coltrane Quartet during their performance at the 6th International Jazz Festival in Antibes, France, in July 1965. It documents a pivotal period in jazz history, occurring only months after the original studio recording of A Love Supreme was completed. At this stage in his career, Coltrane was pushing the boundaries of modal jazz toward a more spiritual and free-form expression, and this live document serves as a raw, visceral counterpart to the controlled environment of the studio sessions.

The CHARLY772LP release is a modern pressing designed to make this specific performance available to contemporary vinyl collectors. Charly Records, known for their archival work, curated this release to highlight the quartet's intensity and improvisational synergy. The design remains faithful to the aesthetic of mid-sixties live jazz documentation, intended to preserve the sonic fidelity of the original broadcast while providing a tangible link to one of the most significant live sets in Coltrane's discography.
