    Love Supreme has to be the most beautiful title of any song ever recorded. Not to mention that the music is so superb that it never get tiring. We can all learn and grow from stories about Tranes work ethic. Like a true genius he invested a great effort in his craft.

    Trane was the greatest. There'll never be another Trane man.
