![]() A Love Supreme Live in Seattle is not only 100% the classic quartet, and, best of all, its version of the second movement, "Resolution," has an accompaniment by Tyner that completely dissolves the old and still rigid distinction between the abstract and the actual. The last and very brief stage of Coltrane's career - the period that saw the technical mastery of Giant Steps, Coltrane's most intellectual statement, made into so much cosmic mush with assistance from Alice Coltrane and Pharaoh Sanders, musicians who could not hold a candle to Tyner and Jones - is not on this recording. And this is because Tyner and Jones, the real stars of A Love Supreme Live in Seattle, know how to push the knowable to the limits of the unknowable without going too far into the unknowable. All that we hear, from beginning to end, is still very much in the realm of the classic quartet. There is none of the late Coltrane noise and out-of-body-seeking to be found here. ![]() But these views of the work amount to nothing more than nonsense.
