You ever come back to an album that you may not have listened to in a while and it just up and kicks your butt? Man, John Coltrane’s Giant Steps is just such an album. Tommy Flanagan, Art Taylor and Paul Chambers just absolutely rip it up. Contrane’s tour-de-force perfomance on the title track might as well cancel any other tenor sax player’s career. Cousin Mary is also another track that just makes me bob my head like I’ve got a closed-head injury. And of course there’s Naima, one of the great ballads of be-bop. If you happen to have been dead or un-born when this came out and don’t have it in your collection then you just don’t be cool…
