Review (Wiki)Giant Steps is a 1960 album by jazz musician John Coltrane, released on Atlantic Records.
Giant Steps was his second album to be recorded by the Atlantic label, and marked the first time that all of the pieces on a recording had been composed by him. The recording exemplifies Coltrane's melodic phrasing that came to be known as sheets of sound, and features the use of a new harmonic concept later to be known as "Coltrane changes." Jazz musicians continue to use the Giant Steps chord progression as a practice piece and as a gateway into modern jazz improvisation. The ability to blow over the Giant Steps/Coltrane cycle remains to this day one of the benchmark standards by which a jazz musician's improvising skill is measured.
The album is also considered to be Coltrane's farewell to the style of music called "bebop". He ventured into the territory known as "modal jazz" shortly afterwards.
