A Love Supreme: The Making of John Coltrane's Masterpiece, Ashley Kahn's 2002 book from Viking, is a book length study of the album's making, drawing on studio outtakes and interviews with the surviving quartet members and Coltrane's family. Its strength is that it is a named specialist author's dedicated monograph, not a tertiary encyclopedia entry, built on primary interview research. Its limit is that it focuses on the album's making rather than the church that later formed around it, so a claim about the church's own liturgical use of the album needs a separate source such as the church's own account or independent reporting on it.
