A Love Supreme Remastered

Posted by: gusi on 28 March 2005

I saw this in the shop the other day. A full remaster by Rudy van Gelder and a disk of alternative takes.

Has ony one heard this? Does it sound much better? I have the standard ALS cd.

cheers

It's much better. Not just an ordinary remaster. A different & better quaility source tape was used.

Actually, the second disc is a live performance of A Love Supreme at the 1965 Antibes Jazz Festival. Powerful stuff, but worthwhile for the remastered studio original alone.

Those who love the original should check out the Wynton Marsalis reworking on his CD of the same name. A breathtaking rescoring with all the appropriate reverence.

I ended up getting this and it is indeed much better quality. It is hard to believe it is the same session as the previous CD.

I'll have a look for the WM version next.
