Giant Steps

John Coltrane

Giant Steps

Recording of Giant Steps commenced in early May of 1959

with a pair of sessions that featured Tommy Flanagan

on piano and Art Taylor on drums, plus Paul Chambers,

who was the only musician other than Coltrane to have

performed on every date. When recording resumed

in December of that year, pianist Wynton Kelly and

drummer Jimmy Cobb replaced Flanagan and Taylor,

completing the rhythm section of the Miles Davis group

of that time. The main focus on the LP, however, consists

of Coltrane's tenor solos. All seven pieces issued on

the album are compositions by the saxophonist. Giant

Steps was John Coltrane's debut on the Atlantic label

and confirmed his importance in the jazz scene. At that

time he was still a member of the Miles Davis group,

which would soon record the immortal Kind of Blue.
