Entertainment Reviews:

The Wire - 6/01, p.42
"...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..."
Down Beat - 12/00, p.94
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..."
Mojo (Publisher) - p.52
Ranked #8 in Mojo's "The 50 Most Out There Albums Of All Time" - "ASCENSION remains a uniquely draining, frighteningly human and intense experience."
Record Collector (magazine) - p.87
4 stars out of 5 -- "[R]adical....Consisting of a single rambling and largely cacophonous 40-mintue free jazz piece..."
