“And that's the soulful thing about playing: you offer something to somebody. You don't know if they'll like it, but you offer it.” ― Wynton Marsalis, To a Young Jazz Musician: Letters from the Road

“You call it jazz. For me, it is just music. It is different for different people.” —John Coltrane

Giant Steps (1960) by John Coltrane

Landmark jazz album that revolutionized improvisation with its complex harmonic structure and rapid chord changes. The title track showcases Coltrane’s legendary technique, introducing the now-famous "Coltrane changes" that challenged and inspired generations of musicians. Tracks like Naima add a lyrical, emotional depth, balancing technical brilliance with soulful expression. A must-listen for any jazz enthusiast, this album cemented Coltrane’s status as one of the greatest saxophonists of all time.

I'll probably keep making pixel arts of album covers, so if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know. If you're going to use my content or upload it to other sites, please let me know.

Legendary Jazz virtuoso Chet Baker during a session for “My Funny Valentine” in 1952. Mr. Baker, nicknamed "The Prince of Cool" by Charlie Parker during the height of the San Francisco ‘50s, led a brilliant, tortured life. His most famous work, a live album entitled “Chet Baker in Tokyo” featuring “Almost Blue” was released a year before his death in 1988.
