Description
John Coltrane’s Ascension, issued by Impulse!, remains one of his most uncompromising statements. Recorded in 1965 at Rudy Van Gelder’s Englewood Cliffs studio, the session brings together an expanded eleven-piece ensemble including Freddie Hubbard, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp and McCoy Tyner.
Subtitled ‘Edition I & II’, this edition presents both complete takes of the piece together, revealing its fluid, evolving nature. Across nearly 40 minutes, the group moves between dense collective improvisation and extended solos, pushing into raw, exploratory territory.
Once divisive, Ascension is now widely regarded as a defining document of free jazz and a pivotal moment in Coltrane’s catalogue. Presenting both versions side by side underscores the scale, ambition and restless drive at the heart of the recording.
