A Love Supreme The Complete Masters

*企鹅爵士指南四星皇冠不朽评价 /AMG – 5星最高评价/史上101张爵士唱片之一

　　滚石杂志500大专辑

　　“祟高的爱”（A Love Supreme）无疑是约翰柯川最伟大的里程碑，相较于另一张伟大的经典“巨人脚步”（Giant Step），“祟高的爱”（A Love Supreme）对后期爵士乐手有决定性的影响。在这张专辑中，约翰柯川捨弃更多在硬咆勃（Hard Bop）时期强调的吹奏法，以沉鬱音色不断带领著不协调苦闷的音符重击聆听者的心灵，堪称他划时代的巨作。

　　约翰．柯川这位爵士乐的奇才，恐怕是二十世纪最特殊的一位乐手。他一方面不断努力精进于演奏的表现，但另一方面却又不时沉浸在精神恍惚的酒精世界裡。当他受至宗教洗礼后，他一直以圣者的身份自居，在演奏中呈现奉献与敬拜精神。本辑正是他将长串的即与演奏发挥至极的高峰期，近于无懈可繫的演奏中，完美的四重奏搭配出四段意味深长的乐曲。对约翰．柯川而言，这个录音可说是他以音乐演奏表达"祟高的爱"给乐迷的最佳献礼。
