If a white person had written and recorded the song Giant Steps you would all call it soulless wank
>>60575437
Ascension is better
>>60576519
they're two completely different albums lol not even comparable
giant steps is rooted hugely in study of harmonics, hence "coltrane changes", which stem from the title track. Ascension was recorded at a point in Coltrane's life where he was looking for spiritual release through free jazz, lack of form ect.
buzz opinion if i ever saw one

And yet the only "criticism" you can make has nothing to do with the album or the music

No matter what I say you'll probably come back with "Coltrane changes! Flawless playing! Tight band!" and stuff like that, which is mostly true but still doesn't stop it from being pretty boring
>>60575437
Also like most jazz albums of its time the saxophone is mixed way too high and the rhythm section is way too quiet

Ascensions is probably my favourite jazz record
which is odd because I'm a casual and not really into "avant garde"
>>60575437
I find it decent, not remarkable.
>>60575437
for music with so few chord changes it's actually rather entertaining. still though, i prefer music with chord changes.

Kill yourself.

It brings hard bop to a creative dead end. Giant Steps and Countdown sacrificed feeling for music theory. Any "influence" drawn from it by later artists was indirectly; no one else wrote changes like that into the future
Besides that there are no real complaints to be made, obviously an immaculately played album by all 4 musicians

what, you want me to make a list of the individual components of free jazz? it's pretty self explanatory from the name of the genre senpai
>>60583455
are you fucking high?
this album is noted for it's large use of changes/harmonic experimentation..
