IMPULSE! DIVES DEEP INTO ITS 60 YEARS

The House That Trane Built—Impulse! Recordsturns 60 this year and UMe has started the celebration with a deep dive video into a John Coltrane classic.

A Love Supreme: Deep Dive explores the lasting musical and historical importance of Coltrane’s 1965 recording A Love Supreme. It’s the first release in the celebration that will include a box set, a reimagined Alice Coltrane rarity, high-fidelity vinyl reissues, curated playlists, brand partnerships and more deep-dive videos.

“Over the last 60 years, Impulse! Records has released some of the most important and influential jazz albums of all time and UMe remains honored to continue to help expand the legacy of this exceptional catalog,” said Bruce Resnikoff, President & CEO of UMe. “We’re thrilled to celebrate six decades of this iconic and truly American label by shining a light all year long on the profound way that Impulse! and its many incredible artists have forever impacted music and culture.”
