Talk:Ascension (John Coltrane album)

Untitled
I made the very basic outline of this album. Most of the information comes from the liner notes in the reissue. I'm not very good at wikipedia, so maybe someone with more technical know-how can fix it up a bit. Timothyreal 17:07, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Hm. I think it's good to make reference to Coleman's Free Jazz but here, it's almost like a mini-essay comparing the two. The album entries in Wikipedia are meant to give a good overview of the album first, some background, production etc. before delving into analysis and critique. It's a good critique though (could maybe be pared down and put into a section of its own). Unfortunately I don't have enough knowledge about this album (or Coltrane in general) to fix it up... 67.70.163.54 02:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Needs source
Apparently Coltrane wanted to record a third take, but Jones refused - allegedly kicking over the bass drum and throwing the snare at the wall before storming out of the studio.
 * Cogan and Clark. (2003). Temples of Sound: Inside the Great Recording Studios tells it differently. Viriditas (talk) 14:31, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Did some work on soloists/ensemble order
I added the times at which a certain soloist is playing, and also inserted the ensemble notation in between each soloist. This should make this difficult album much clearer and easier to understand, which it definitely deserves. Happy quack (talk) 11:54, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Are these timings for the correct edition? They look suspiciously close to the timings on edition 1, despite a different soloist order... --171.159.192.10 (talk) 13:24, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Dewey Johnson
The present article states that Dewey Johnson was "plagued by mental illness" and disappeared in New York sometime in the 1980s. Yet David Glen Such's 1993 book *Avant-Garde Jazz: Performing "Out There"* features an interview with Dewey Johnson on pp. 132-135, including a picture of Mr. Johnson at Columbia University.
