Description

The album “Ascension (Edition I)” by Jazz musician John Coltrane is the rarer “Edition I” version.

Two takes of the piece were recorded. The second take was issued first, then withdrawn at Coltrane’s insistence; this came to be called “Edition I“. It was eventually replaced with the first take (Edition II), similar except with a different solo order and no drum solo by Elvin Jones.
