| | John Coltrane Plays Giant Steps
Legendary jazz saxophonist John Coltrane recorded the now standard and classic "Giant Steps" in 1959. It became one of the most challenging and important tunes in all of the modern jazz repertoire. It was thought to have existed only in two versions - until 1995, when seven more astonishing takes from those 1959 recording sessions were discovered by producer Joel Dorn in the vaults of Atlantic Records. They were immediately released to an adoring public in 1996 by Rhino Records.
This amazing folio presents note-for-note tenor saxophone transcriptions of all nine existing takes of Coltrane's effort, 96 choruses in all. The compilation includes analysis of the tune and all solos, plus historical background from the period. All this information makes this book a collector's item as well as an important practice and learning tool of the music and technique of John Coltrane.
