content: This set is quite powerful. Sun Ship and Amen show the classic quartet in all their blazing power while Dearly Beloved and Attaining show just how beautiful creative jazz can be.I give this album a lower rating for Garrison's solo for a large part of Ascent. Coltrane always gave Garrison space and should be admired for doing so. Unfortunately, Garrison would create slow building, very structured solos that tend to disrupt the flow of some of Trane's work. I think its interesting that when Garrison's solos work, the album is a classic (see ALS and Meditations).This is the last album Coltrane intended to release by the classic quartet (First Meditation was recorded a few days later but not released until the late 70s). All in all, a very valuable set.
