Ascension is a jazz album by John Coltrane recorded in 1965 and released in 1966. It is often considered to be a watershed album, with the albums released before it being more conventional in structure and the albums released after it being looser, free jazz inspired works.

Jazz musician Dave Liebman, commenting on Ascension, recalled that the albu
