 JOHN COLTRANE ORCHESTRA   

  Featuring JOHN TCHICAI, ARCHIE SHEPP, PHAROAH SANDERS, MARION BROWN & FREDDIE HUBBARD

"ASCENSION" Edition II 


First take (Edition II) recorded by Rudy Van Gelder at Van Gelder Studios on 28th June 1965; personnel: JOHN COLTRANE tenor sax, DEWEY JOHNSON trumpet, FREDDIE HUBBARD trumpet, JOHN TCHICAI alto sax, MARION BROWN alto sax, PHAROAH SANDERS tenor sax, ARCHIE SHEPP tenor sax, McCOY TYNER piano, ART DAVIS acoustic bass, JIMMY GARRISON acoustic bass, ELVIN JONES drums. 


      

NOTE: Bob Thiele originally chose to release Take 2 of Ascension (known now as Edition I). However, Coltrane was displeased because he preferred Take 1, so Impulse released Edition II of Ascension, which became the more preferred LP of the two versions.

My Grading Scale: NM / EX / VG+ / VG / G

SHIPPING NOTE: I do not profit from shipping charges! I provide new poly-vinyl dust covers & inner sleeves for every item, and pack in strong cruciform mailers (or a waterproof padded bubble-lined envelope for 7-inches) with both cardboard & bubble wrap protective inserts. This costs me close to an additional $2 for each item. I also purchase tracking for every location where the USPS offers it.
