john coltrane giant steps lp 7The idea of an LP as a single aesthetic unit, pioneered by Frank Sinatra and a few others, was still relatively new at the time. Not the least of Coltranes achievements was to harness the long players potential and to give it near perfect, lastingly satisfying content. This is one of the great modern records. Since its release in 1960, the fascination with Giant Steps has never wavered. This is a true masterpiece that should be in everyones collection.
