Final Boss | |
| Giant Steps (Music) / int_ad4a45be | comment |
Final Boss: Many jazz musicians regard the title track as this for mainstream jazz in general; its chord changes come so thick and fast, and it modulates to a new key so rapidly and often, that on the original recording, you can clearly hear that the only musician who's completely mastered the tune is Coltrane himself. His pianist, the great Tommy Flanagan, is audibly struggling (although he went on to make a superb recording of it years later.) Any jazz musician who can improvise fluently over "Giant Steps" is a major badass. It should be noted that Coltrane had a proud tradition of not showing his musicians the chord changes until shortly before recording, and "Giant Steps" was no exception. This makes the original recording a case of Enforced Method Acting, and it just makes his band even greater badasses for being able to play it.invoked | |

One-Woman Song: "Cousin Mary" and "Naima" are respectively named after Coltrane's cousin and his then-wife Juanita Naima Grubbs. "Syeeda's Song Flute" is named after Naima's daughter, whom Coltrane adopted. | |
