Two Measures in Motion

These 2 measures are from Part I (Acknowledgement) of John Coltrane's 1965 masterpiece, A Love Supreme. Coltrane's sax is absent in this snippet because it wasn't fair to only feature a few seconds of his playing, whereas this 4 note bass line establishes a musical theme that carries through the rest of the album. The members of Coltrane's band you hear are Jimmy Garrison on bass and Elvin Jones on drums.
