Description
The complete 'Giant Steps' album plus bonus track on 1 CD packaged together with a deluxe 88-page hardback book by renowned jazz writer Franck Bergerot.
John Coltrane, a towering figure in the world of saxophone, created musical history with 'Giant Steps', a veritable cornerstone of modern jazz that paved the way from bop to modal jazz, and even on to free jazz, and gave the world its first glimpse of such original compositions as 'Naima', 'Mr. P.C.' and the album's title track, which would become core masterpieces.
In this book, prestigious Jazz Magazine writer Franck Bergerot explores the genesis of that iconic album but also offers an in-depth look at Coltrane's life, musical development, and style.
The book is fully illustrated with classic, rare, and never before published photos by such important jazz photographers as Jean-Pierre Leloir, Gai Terrell, Herb Snitzer, Bill Wagg and Gijsbert Hanekroot.
Also included inside is a CD containing 'Giant Steps' in its entirety, plus five bonus tracks specifically selected by the author to demonstrate distinct aspects of Coltrane's development.
