well, if you want to vibe:

did a thread on that one already

I am not exaggerating when I say Giant Steps changed my life. My attempt at becoming a serious musician stems from hearing this album, for the first time, four years ago.

I personally hold it and A Love Supreme, as greater artistic statements than Kind Of Blue.

My Dad likes John Coltrane. Seriously, unless Iam smoking something (which I dont), I just cant get into it. To me, its just improvised sax playing. No doubt its awesomely played, but hey, thats just how I feel.

I understand people who dont like music I listen to like Yes or Emerson Lake and Palmer (which I like), but what bugs me is the elitist attitude some jazz fans have. I know people like this and it pisses me off. I hope no one is like that here.

unbelievable album!!!
A lot of what it is for me with Coltraine's
playing is all of the feeling in it.
When he is wailing that shit out you are just like:
Daaaaamn! What's this guy got goin on inside of him!
A lot of feelings in what he is playing.
My Coltraine records were heavy on my stereo after
I got divorced. Up at night with Coltraine's screaming
wailing sax was just what I needed at the time
Giant Steps
Transition
Interstellar Space
A Love Supreme
Some of my fav Coltraine albums.

I grew up listening to my dad playing John Coltrane . I have a few of my own now and it's always nice to listen to some jazzzzz

Giant Steps has to be some of the toughest chord changes ever!

I don't think it's nearly as good an album as A Love Supreme, but it's a great collection of songs.

Cute....
