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. Recorded 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\u003cp\u003eThe Verve Vault series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"features\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerve Vault Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth Editions Presented Together on Vinyl for the First Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMastered from Analog Tapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressed at Optimal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"musicians\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMusicians\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eJohn Coltrane\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003etenor sax\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eArchie Shepp, Pharoah Sanders\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003etenor sax\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eJohn Tchicai, Marion Brown\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ealto sax\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eArt Davis, Jimmy Garrison\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ebass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eElvin Jones\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003edrums\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMcCoy Tyner\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003epiano\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDewey Johnson, Freddie Hubbard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003etrumpet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"selections\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSelections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLP1 - \u003cem\u003eAscension (Edition I)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSIDE A:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAscension (Part 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSIDE B:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAscension (Part 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLP2 - \u003cem\u003eAscension (Edition II)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSIDE C:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAscension (Part 1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSIDE D:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAscension (Part 2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"UMG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43492169253070,"sku":"199957117982","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5027\/0926\/files\/ab67616d0000b273870242be73ff3269f9b86689.jpg?v=1776473910","url":"https:\/\/www.theingroove.com\/es\/products\/pre-order-john-coltrane-ascension-edition-i-ii-verve-vault-series-lp","provider":"The 'In' Groove","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
