John Coltrane’s maiden voyage for Atlantic Records was the fulfillment of all the potential he’d demonstrated with Miles, Monk and on his own Prestige recordings. Recorded in May 1959 (one month after completing Davis’ KIND OF BLUE), GIANT STEPS is Coltrane’s first recital to feature nothing but his own original compositions, and is the culmination of his obsessive foray into harmony.
