Coltrane started sessions for his first Atlantic album right after playing on Davis’s masterpiece, Kind of Blue. Released in early 1960, GIANT STEPS introduced the “Coltrane Changes,” a revolutionary approach to chords still studied today. From the tenderness of “Naima” to the hard swing of “Mr. P.C.,” the album captures his blend of precision and lyricism. Inducted into the GRAMMY ® Hall of Fame in 2001, GIANT STEPS is one of jazz’s most influential albums.
