Our Take

John Coltrane's Giant Steps is an absolute whirlwind of an album, bursting with energy and innovation. From the moment the needle hits the vinyl, you are taken on a wild journey through Coltrane's intricate melodies and mind-bending chord progressions.

The opening track, "Giant Steps," hits you like a ton of bricks, with Coltrane's frenetic saxophone playing effortlessly weaving in and out of the complex rhythms. It's a dizzying display of virtuosity that leaves you breathless and wanting more.

Tracks like "Naima" and "Mr. P.C." showcase Coltrane's softer, more introspective side, letting the listener catch their breath before diving back into the frenetic energy of the album.

Overall, Giant Steps is a masterpiece of modern jazz, pushing boundaries and challenging listeners to expand their musical horizons. Coltrane's bold and fearless approach to composition and improvisation shines through in every track, making this album a must-listen for any music lover.

So grab a glass of your finest whiskey, settle into your favourite armchair, and let John Coltrane take you on a journey through the twisted, mind-bending world of Giant Steps. You won't regret it. Trust me, I'm a professional.
