Records, stands as one of John Coltrane’s most radical and influential works. Subtitled “Edition I \u0026amp; II” to reflect the two complete takes recorded at the session—and presented together on LP for the first time—the piece is a nearly 40-minute large-ensemble performance marking Coltrane’s decisive embrace of the avant-garde.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded on June 28, 1965, at Rudy Van Gelder’s Englewood Cliffs studio and produced by Bob Thiele, the session assembled an expanded ensemble of eleven musicians. Alongside Coltrane’s tenor saxophone are trumpeters Freddie Hubbard and Dewey Johnson; saxophonists Pharoah Sanders, Marion Brown, John Tchicai, and Archie Shepp; pianist McCoy Tyner; bassists Art Davis and Jimmy Garrison; and drummer Elvin Jones. The music alternates between densely textured collective improvisation and extended solo statements, conjuring a hurricane of violent, searching sound. Initially controversial for its intensity and freedom, \u003cem\u003eAscension\u003c\/em\u003e has since come to be recognized as a landmark of modern jazz and a defining statement of the emerging free-jazz movement. Presenting both takes together highlights the organic, ever-changing character of the performance and affirms its enduring place in Coltrane’s artistic legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"accordion\"\u003e\u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" name=\"collapse\" id=\"handle1\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"handle\"\u003e\u003clabel for=\"handle1\"\u003eTracklist \u0026amp; Credits - 2LP\u003c\/label\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_tracklist\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklist\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLP 1 - Ascension (Edition I)\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAscension (Part 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAscension (Part 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLP 2 - Ascension (Edition II)\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAscension (Part 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide B\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAscension (Part 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_credits\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Verve Vault series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"accordion\"\u003e\u003cinput type=\"checkbox\" name=\"collapse\" id=\"handle2\"\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"handle\"\u003e\u003clabel for=\"handle2\"\u003e Shipping \u0026amp; Returns\u003c\/label\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- Accordion Content Start--\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shipping_info\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eShipping\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe ship to customers in the US and \u003cb\u003emost international countries\u003c\/b\u003e including in Europe, Asia and Latin America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost international orders are \u003cb\u003edelivered duties paid\u003c\/b\u003e with no additional taxes or custom charges to pay on delivery - please see details for your country at check-out.
