Why is A Love Supreme regarded so highly? What does it have above compared to other Coltrane records such as Africa or Ole or even My Favorite Things? What makes it the greatest Jazz album ever done in the eyes of people?

it has really mysterious and catchy melodies that allude to understanding and worship like the one that goes daaaa da di da di daa, diiidaadiiaaa diiaaa or the one that's a love supreme, a love supreme or the one dı dı dı, dıtdı dı (my favorite)

Jazz is just background music. Sure it's more technically impressive and requires more musical ability to play and understand than other genres outside of classical music. But it lacks in staying power, lasting emotional impact, cultural relevance, themes, etc. It doesn't truly force you to think outside of things like "wow that's so cool how seamlessly they switched time signatures there" beyond the performance itself. It doesn't spark the same conversations about life or take the same risks that albums in other genres do.

To continue on that, music can convey emotions but without words it can't truly make statements unless the artist does it outside of the art. VU and Nico, ITAOTS, Blonde on Blonde, OKC, 36 Chambers...all albums that can be dissected and utilized in conversations related to society and culture to degrees that Black Saint and the Sinner Lady or A Love Supreme never could. They have more innate character, communicate ideas, and reveal the artist's inner feelings and perspectives simply by virtue of having words to coincide with the music.

I have no idea, I've listened to almost every coltrane album atleast twice and I still don't get why people like this one the most
