It's been too long since I listened to John Coltrane's incredible Ascension - an album that can still give me serious goosebumps. Especially after playing with Kenny Reed (who was a student of Elvin Jones for a time) I can really hear the grooves being laid down in the rhythm section. So dense, and so jarring - even after years of listening I'll always find more and all at once be completely inspired and completely destroyed.
This is why I listen to this music! It spontaneously creates and annihilates, and I feel renewed.
