"Ascension is as spellbinding as Coltrane's music."--The New Review of Records "This remarkable book traces the development of Coltrane's music as it moved from hard bop to the freest jazz. . . . ."--Lang Thompson, Option "Nisenson . . . Informed and convincing, Ascension belongs on the short list of essential music books . .
Though Eric Nisenson is an avowed fan of Coltrane, he maintains clearheadedness where others often succumb to gibberish. As a 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.
