Description
A landmark, genre-defining album, Giant Steps has been hailed as John Coltrane's finest work. Coltrane and his bandmates create compelling, frenzied, and beautiful sonic landscapes which helped revolutionize jazz. Released in January 1960, Giant Steps was John's first album devoted entirely to his own compositions and confirmed his command of tenor saxophone as well as his emerging skill as a composer. This version, mastered from the original analog master tapes by Bernie Grundman, for the first time in the 45 RPM format, is likely to become legendary--and may very well become the definitive stereo version of the recording.
This deluxe package comes in a solid cardboard slipcase replica of the original master tape box. The two 180 gram discs arrived flat and clean and are housed in RTI's poly inner sleeves and held by a gatefold cover made of heavy card stock. Inside the gatefold cover is a full-size black and white photo of Coltrane. Rounding out the package are inserts containing a replica of Downbeat's original album review and a sheet containing color photos of the labels that also indicates which number of the 2,500 copies pressed you have received.
