Folk, soul, rock, and jazz intermingle through inspired reinterpretations of music by Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Paul Simon, Bill Withers, and Talking Heads, revealing the shared language that connects these traditions. As always, A Love Supreme celebrates music without borders—where improvisation, humanity, and curiosity lead us toward a brighter horizon.
