John Coltrane “Giant Steps” LP

Giant Steps puts the focus on tenor and soprano saxophone, modal development, harmonic intensity, and spiritual searching.

• The title track is built around the famously demanding harmonic cycle now known as “Coltrane changes,” a proving ground for generations of improvisers.
• Tommy Flanagan, Paul Chambers, and Art Taylor are among the players heard across the sessions, with “Naima” balancing the album's harmonic intensity with a lyrical ballad.
• The record captures Coltrane at a turning point, pushing hard bop harmony toward a more personal and technically radical language.

For fans of Miles Davis, McCoy Tyner, and Pharoah Sanders.
