Reviews
"...The most important record Coltrane ever made. It marked such a violent severance with his past that many critics at the time thought he had lost his mind...", Ranked #8 in Mojo's "The 50 Most Out There Albums Of All Time" - "ASCENSION remains a uniquely draining, frighteningly human and intense experience.", 5 stars out of 5 - "...There is no more radical free-jazz statement than 1965's ASCENSION....this album roars and soars beyond its milieu to become one for the ages and is Coltrane's most difficult statement for jazz traditionalists to follow...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Radical....Consisting of a single rambling and largely cacophonous 40-mintue free jazz piece..."
