Episode notes
It doesn’t get much more classic than this, John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme is a bonafide heat rock. Musician/DJ Jeff Parker sits down with Oliver and guest co-host Jocelyn Brown to discuss this truly iconic album, it’s unexpected gospel leanings, and the intentionality behind every aspect of this album.
