Supreme Love: A Journey Through Coltrane CD

Many jazz musicians have paid tribute to the great John Coltrane over the years, though few have attempted to showcase the different stylistic periods of the prolific saxophonist's career. Praise needs to be heaped on British saxophonist Sean Khan, who has taken on this enviable task - with a little help from buddies Kaidi Tatham and Daz-I-Kue, as well as an impressive cast of guest vocalists and musicians - and more than succeeded in his task. Flitting between sparkling, subtly updated and often pleasingly soulful bouts of spiritual jazz, hard bop and cosmic experimentalism, Khan and his collaborators serve up sublime versions of countless Coltrane classics, with our picks including 'Starchild', 'Azawala', 'Naima' and 'Giant Steps'.
