This track's irresistible rhythmic drive, pulsating beat and hypnotic horn lines create an atmosphere that feels both earthy and otherworldly.

John Coltrane - Giant Steps (1960)

Genre: jazz, hard bop, modal jazz, post-bop

Length: 37:03

This is the first jazz album I'm reviewing for this page, and it's killer. One of the first jazz albums I had ever heard, John Coltrane's buttery saxophone on Giant Steps gets you dancing right away with a bundle of sway and class.

Difficult to describe the bustling everydayness of the opening song and how perfectly it leads into the rest of the album, Giant Steps – it's more something that ought to be experienced for itself. Preferably at a café or on your way to an airport, perhaps. Between this song and Mr. P.C., the other business-y bop song at the end, the listener is gifted with a legendary array of jazz songs delivered by a master. My favorite song on this is Naima, a delightfully lovely song John Coltrane wrote for his wife.

This is why I say African music is SUPREME. Although we were stripped from our countries on the continent of Africa, stripped from our cultures, stripped from our religious traditions, and stripped from our families, we created an abundance out of nothing but our souls. The chart below stops in 1992. Think of all we have created from 1992 - present.

Clifford Brown (& Max Roach) “More Study In Brown”

It’s crazy that they waited until 1983 to release this! And it was the Japanese arm of the record company that released it! I don’t think this got a US release on wax. As I’ve stated before anything that Clifford Brown recorded is worth owning. Especially since there’s so little of it due to his early passing.
