Channel 4?

Mentioning this survey held by channel 4 is quite irrelevant because the focus of this list does not rest on jazz music, but mostly on pop and rock. And the people who made it do not appear to have enough musical knowledge to listen and to include any of coltrane's albums in that survey.

Elitism aside, I do agree that the mention of the survey is a little high amongst the other recognitions, particularly when it only got eighty-something. Still, I would only move the mention below, as it's still a mass-media recognition and that says something (perhaps) about Coltrane's position in popular culture today.

Ditto regarding Rolling Stone - which seems to have resulted in an edit war.Editor437 (talk) 03:55, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Also, Note that Sgt. Dizzle Guy is a sockpuppet, so her edits should be reverted and ignored.Editor437 (talk) 05:08, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Track listing format

I'm sorry, but I think the way the Track listing looks now is kind of nasty. I'd recommend using the kind of format that's used in the following example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_%28Neal_Morse_album%29

I think this formatting is helpful... what's the problem? Example2011 (talk) 18:14, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Genre

I am completly astonished to see that this album is qualified as Avant-Garde Jazz! I am no jazz expert, I don't know any source to back my opinion but it just sounds a bit free-jazz to me, that's it. Does anyone know a review in some professional mag where it is explicitely qualified as avant-garde jazz? TripRepetae (talk) 21:16, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

When I read the article I was surprised it did not mention the important structural features of A Love Supreme. The first paragraph talks briefly about the relationship between Coltrane's poem and his solo on "Psalm", but this relationship was the subject of a lot of important research, and I think it deserves more attention. Many scholars have also analyzed the motivic connections between the movements of the suite, but the article says nothing about it. I would love to discuss how this information might be incorporated into the article. For a good review of what I'm talking about, check out Porter, Lewis. 1985. “John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme: Jazz Improvisation as Composition.” Journal of the American Musicological Society 38:593–621. Willow1729 09:56, 20 December 2006 (UTC) Under the tighter new "B" class criteria, there are some improvements that could help this article. For instance, the flow could be improved by incorporating the disparate elements of "Reception and Influence" into a single, unified paragraph instead of four separate sentences. Citations would be useful to help readers identity the source of claims. Who says it "coalesced the hard bop sensibilities of his early career with the free jazz style he adopted later in his life"? Attribution is necessary for claims such as these. Improved citation and some attention to style could help bring this up to a B by the current standards. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
