In celebration of the 50th anniversary of John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme, Branford Marsalis will reissue a full performance of the album by his quartet on May 26. Joining Marsalis at the 2003 performance at Amsterdam’s Bimhuis was Joey Calderazzo, Eric Revis and Jeff Watts.

As a bonus to the live performance, all four members of the quartet along with the likes of Michael Brecker, Miguel Zenon, Ned Goold and David Sanchez discuss the inspiration and the challenges presented by Coltrane’s iconic composition. In addition, Alice Coltrane, John’s late widow and the pianist in his last band, is seen in a 30-minute conversation with Marsalis.

“We definitely grew into the piece as we played it, which is why I’m so pleased that Pierre caught us when we really understood it,” Marsalis reports. “One thing about A Love Supreme, it takes tremendous concentration and focus from every member of the band. The first time we played the whole thing live, all we could do afterward was sit in the dressing room for 20 minutes, totally exhausted. You don’t see this band in that shape too often. By the time we got to the Bimhuis, though, we were up to the challenge.”

The CD/DVD set is available via Marsalis’ website.
