John Coltrane | The Making of A Love Supreme [hosted by Mos Def]

The Making of A Love Supreme: Part 1 + Part 2

2(t)wo days ago WEAA 88.9 FM, Morgan State University's radio station, aired The Making of A Love Supreme hosted by Mos Def. Within a 5(f)ive minute car ride the documentary bewitched me to archive and blog the audio.

A Love Supreme is undoubtedly one of the most influential, spiritual and important jazz albums ever recorded. And the inside story on just how this album came into being, as told by many of those who were there, is a story that makes for two great hours of radio.

The Making of A Love Supreme is a 2(t)wo-hour exploration of Coltrane's 1964 masterpiece that aired on WNYC 93.9 FM via WBGO (public radio stations had between Nov. 1, 2002 and Oct. 31, 2003 to broadcast TMOALS) answers, among other inquiries:

How did Coltrane with drummer Elvin Jones, pianist McCoy Tyner and bassist Jimmy Garrison accomplish this landmark album in one day in a studio in New Jersey?
Why did Coltrane write a poem to accompany it?
Why did they only perform the entire suite live one time?
Why was Coltrane's music politicized by the world?

Alphabet Soup - Sunny Day In Harlem, not to be confused with Alphabet Soup - Layin' Low In The Cut a different rap group bearing resemblance only by name, was formerly known as the "Clan from the Planet of Egypt". The addition of Yasin (Brother Love) Gregg as a "Clan from the Planet of Egypt" group member encouraged the group name change to Alphabet Soup.

The group name Alphabet Soup is explained as follows:
The communicative rudiments of language starts with the alphabet. The alphabet is a set of letters and/or other characters written or otherwise (oral-tradition, etc.) arranged in a customary order to convey knowledge or inform. The "Soup" was our music. Together the compliment of both words (alphabet) and music rendered the EP: Sunny Day In Harlem.

Alphabet Soup name changed again, lastly, becoming "Head Rush" (spelled erroneously as Hed Rush on the Giant Step, Vol. 1 for song Testin' It Out.

Holden Caulfield is a fictional character created by J. D. Salinger. Holden is the teenage protagonist of Salinger's 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye ; Holden also appears in some of Salinger's other literary works.

Physically, Holden is gangly and tall. He is also described as having several gray hairs on the right side of his head. These two qualities contribute to Caulfield's appearing to be older than his age, yet his mannerisms and behavior contradict that impression. One of Caulfield's most striking and quintessential qualities is his powerful revulsion for "phony" human qualities. Qualities such as narcissism, hypocrisy, and superficiality embody Holden's concept of phoniness; and, unfortunately, Holden is adept at realizing these qualities in other people. This serves to bolster Holden's cynicism and consequently contributes to his mistrust of other people. Interestingly, despite Holden's strong disdain for phony qualities, he exhibits some of the qualities that he abhors, thereby making him a somewhat tragic character.

Caulfield is the second of four children, with two brothers, D.B. and Allie, and one sister, Phoebe. (There is also a second sister, Viola, who is briefly mentioned in the short story "I'm Crazy," but is never referred to again.) Allie is deceased at the time of The Catcher in the Rye. Their parents are left unnamed in Salinger's works.

Born into a life of wealth and privilege, Caulfield looks down upon the elite world he occupies. He questions the values of his class and society and sometimes appears to oppose conventions merely for the sake of opposition. He is widely considered to be the template for the "angry young man" archetype.

Accordingly, my man "2-Liter" considers my acerbic critiques a "hate" of everything and my "can't fuck with me B!!!" dancing rants didn't/ don't exactly raise the bar thusly "2-Liter" has thereupon labeled me the consummate Holden Caulfield of the east-coast.
