I'm not sure what you want help with -- if you were mesmerized by this recording, I'd say you have pretty damn good taste in jazz and don't need much help.
"A Love Supreme" is, without doubt, Trane's most personal recorded statement. It was composed shortly after Coltrane managed to kick a serious drug habit, at a period of time that he turned to God for help. Trane not only kicked the drug habit, but smoking as well, and thereafter his artistic career took off.
If you are interested in more information about this recording, and this period in Trane's life, let me know and I'll be glad to send you a lengthier commentary.
Best regards,
