John Coltrane - Giant Steps + Coltrane Jazz

Two albums on 1CD with 28-page booklet, includes specially prepared liner notes by the Penguin Guide to Jazz writer, Brian Morton.

The idea of an LP as a single aesthetic unit, pioneered by Frank Sinatra and a few others, was still relatively new at the time. Not the least of Coltrane's achievements was to harness the long player's potential and to give it near-perfect, lastingly satisfying content. This is one of the great modern records. - Penguin Guide To Jazz

Since its release in 1960, the fascination with Giant Steps has never wavered. This is a true masterpiece that should be in everyone's collection. - DownBeat
