  • Giant Steps is a 1960 studio album by jazz musician John Coltrane, released on Atlantic Records. Giant Steps was his second album to be recorded by the Atlantic label (the first was his joint LP with Milt Jackson entitled Bags and Trane), 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 now referred to as Coltrane changes. Jazz musicians continue to use the "Giant Steps" chord progression, which consists of a peculiar set of chord progressions which often move in thirds, as a practice piece and as a gateway into modern jazz improvisation. The ability to play 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 bebop. He ventured into the territory of modal jazz shortly afterwards. Several pieces on this album went on to become jazz standards, such as "Naima", "Giant Steps", "Cousin Mary", "Countdown", and "Mr. P.C."

  • Giant Steps is één van de bekendste albums van jazzsaxofonist John Coltrane dat in 1959 werd uitgebracht door het jazz-label Atlantic. Het album was een enorme vernieuwing in de jazz. Giant Steps betekende op meerdere gebieden een nieuw begin voor John Coltrane, zo was het zijn eerste album voor Atlantic en waren alle nummers op het album door Coltrane zelf geschreven. Giant Steps is een van de bekendste jazzalbums geworden, doordat Coltrane een totaal andere, vernieuwende weg insloeg. Zijn solo op "Countdown" is hier een voorbeeld van. Het album Giant Steps wordt over het algemeen gezien als het afscheid van Coltrane aan de be-bop stijl.
