Our Take

Ah, John Coltrane, the jazz legend whose saxophone skills make us mere mortals question our existence. Giant Steps/Settin The Pace is a masterclass in musical excellence, showing the world just why Coltrane is hailed as one of the greatest musicians of all time.

Giant Steps exudes beauty and complexity, with Coltrane's mesmerising solos taking us on a sonic journey through space and time. The title track alone is a whirlwind of notes that will leave you wondering if human fingers are even capable of such speed and precision. This album is like a rollercoaster of emotions, taking you from euphoria to introspection and back again in the blink of an eye.

On the flipside, Settin The Pace showcases Coltrane's more soulful side, with tracks like "Dial Africa" and "Straight Street" oozing with passion and sensuality. The interplay between Coltrane and his bandmates is seamless, each musician adding their own unique flair to the mix.

In true Coltrane fashion, both albums push the boundaries of jazz, challenging listeners to expand their musical horizons and appreciate the beauty of improvisation. So grab a glass of your finest whiskey, dim the lights, and let John Coltrane's genius wash over you. Trust us, you won't regret it.
