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.

I picked up this 1959 mono copy of Miles Davis’ “Jazz Track” the other day and bought it right off the turntable at a shop where it was playing. I had instantly fallen in love with the first track on side two, “On Green Dolphin Street,” which finds him trading off solos with John Coltrane. Like all infatuations in life, however, that flush of excitement made me overlook a major flaw—namely the massive piece of old-school masking tape on the cover. I spent a good 20 minutes at home anxiously peeling it off with the aid of a hair dryer set on “incinerate” so that it would melt and reactive the long-dried glue underneath the tape. It worked, but the process was nerve wracking!
