"This remarkable book traces the development of Coltrane's music as it
moved from hard bop to the freest jazz. . . . Informed and convincing, Ascension belongs on the short list of essential music books . . ."--Lang Thompson,Option
"Nisenson
. . . presents us with a sensitive and vivid portrait of Coltrane as he
progressed from a 'journeyman bopper' addicted to alcohol and heroin to
a profoundly spiritual 'warrior' seeking knowledge of God through the
making of music."--Booklist
"Equal parts biography, jazz history, social history, and listener's guide, Ascension manages
to be both entertaining and enlightening. Though Eric Nisenson is an
avowed fan of Coltrane, he maintains clearheadedness where others often
succumb to gibberish. As a listener's guide to Coltrane recordings, the
book is perceptive and thorough."--New York Times Book Review
