LA Times

December 10, 2014

A Love Supreme: The Legacy of John Coltrane,’ was a sterling example of first-rate jazz music-making, whatever the instrumentation… Although the piece [‘A Love Supreme’] has been reinterpreted many ways since it was recorded in the ’60s (including ‘A Guitar Supreme’ by Larry Coryell, Mike Stern and others, and a CD/DVD version by Branford Marsalis), the Turtle Islanders’ take is unique. Balakrishnan’s thoughtful arrangement recalled passages from Coltrane’s original solos while creating lush textures and whirlwind rhythms underscoring both the musical and the spiritual complexities of the original composition.
