[BennyGaberMusic]

Coltrane was mad, nuts, off the wall. But shit pharoah sanders was an Avant garde genius.

McCoy Tyner left after Coltrane went atonal.

After 46 years, still amazing and still music I have yet to come to terms with.

thanks for posting.

This is such an overwhelmingly powerful record. I had my first copy in 1977 at 17 years old. It was a brutal assault to my senses that, to me, made sense. I have the reissue with edition one and two. Edition two is my favorite. Elvin Jones is so big and broad with his drum sound. That studio in Englewood Cliffs NJ was a muther f&@ker! Natural reverb from hell!

This is great! I remember listening to it back in the early 70s, and it was so charged an experience, we used to joke about heating the house with it.... This was an amazing gathering of great, improvisational, spiritual, musical artists. The way the music would quiet down, the ensemble would play, then another soloist, felt like some sort of breathing glob of sound, that would simmer down, leaving one standing out at a time to blow, & blow they did!

when i was just getting into Jazz, Ascension happened to be the very first lp i bought by John Coltrane and it was a steep learning curve, indeed! i remember putting the record on and was immediately shocked by what i heard. so i advanced the tonearm bit by bit across the first side, trying in vain to find something i could process. i did the same with side 2 and after a couple minutes gave up. eventually i returned to it with open ears and eventually recognized it for the landmark it is. whew!

I love the photo uploaded with this peice!

I'm sorry but I've just gotta say it. This is the musical equivalent to the Holocaust!

[nepalnt21]

honestly not only was that tasteless and offensive, it just shows how completely ignorant you are. i hope one day you will open up.

if you dont like it, thats fine; but what a completely lame comment that was.

[constablekohler]

I see how that was an offensive and tasteless comment (that was obviously the point of the comment in the first place!) but it shows absolutely nothing about my level of ignorance. It really is ignorant, though, to say that you know all there is to know about me through one purposely disgusting comment I made and that you are -well enough informed- of my thoughts to say I am ignorant. That is ignorant. All I am is a dick, with little sensitivity but ignorant I am not.

[nepalnt21]

ignorant of the feelings of others? not a form of ignorance? hmm...

ignorant of the lack of similarities between this music: forward thinking and inclusive, and the shoah: backwards and exclusive.

ignorant of the fact that you were not obligated to make that comment...

...this is how we did Ong's hat...

[tigooliveira91]

perfeito o rosto da menina para esta musica , ficamos com a mesma fisionomia quando escutamos coltrane.

O que ele dizer pra si mesmo ou pra alguem ?

[Revelatore]

Both amazing but really.... Sanders was on a completely different dimension there. In a good way of course.

[finulanu]

Ah, yes, Ascension... fantastic album. I love all the emotion that gets poured into that. I actually have stayed up for hours trying to interpret just what Coltrane was trying to communicate. You either love or hate Coltrane's free stuff. Me, I love it.

[tigooliveira91]

coltrane no final e amor !

[wholetruthaboutabs]

How do you try to interpret emotional art? It isn't there to be interpreted, but to be felt. Coltrane was playing with emotion here.

[opinioninflicting]

@finulanu These guys were possibly exponentially better than the abstract expressionists. "Experimental" painters had gimmicks, these motherfuckers had a LANGUAGE.

[999manman]

@opinioninflicting Neat postulation! Never thought of it that way!

[nepalnt21]

you must be really good so far

@skspartan1337

Ran across this lame comment by accident.

You certainly spread your idiocy around.

Remember when your video 'response' to 'Trombonist from Hell' was........

an anemic ZZ Top cover?

[jontti91]

Ascension is my favourite from John Coltrane, I love this :)

[TyShredder]

Sanders' solo on Edition II is the single most remarkable thing I've ever heard in my life.

[LGLG69]

Truly amazing.
