Our Take

Ah, John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" - the album that makes even the most seasoned jazz aficionados break out into a sweat. From the moment that first saxophone note hits your ears, you know you're in for a wild ride.

Coltrane's virtuosity on this record is nothing short of mind-blowing. The way he effortlessly glides through complex time signatures and intricate chord progressions is enough to make even the most skilled musicians feel inadequate. It's like watching a master painter create a masterpiece right in front of your eyes.

The title track, "Giant Steps," is a whirlwind of frenetic energy and technical prowess. Coltrane's saxophone dances and darts around the melody with an almost reckless abandon, leaving listeners in awe of his sheer talent.

But it's not just Coltrane who shines on this album. Pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Art Taylor all bring their A-game to the table, creating a tight-knit ensemble that propels the music forward with precision and flair.

Overall, "Giant Steps" is a masterpiece of modern jazz that showcases Coltrane at the height of his powers. It's a wild, unpredictable journey that will leave you breathless and begging for more. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let the magic of Coltrane's music wash over you. Trust me, you won't regret it.
