My left ear is so pleased.
That bass is soooo soothing.
@@Ematched Boi you got your headphones on backwards XD.
If my headphones are backwards, then these headphones are mislabeled.
@@urphakeandgey6308 and if my headphones are backwards, I don't want to be right.
I think that's your third ear, sister.
Shoutout to everyone who actually listened to the whole album. This whole album is a masterpiece!
yup.. in the past for example, I didn't pay much attention to Mr. PC. But Trane's solo on there is actually brilliant, so original even though harmonically it's just a 12 bar blues
YESSSSSS!!!!
This might be my favorite album of all time
i listen coltrane to study with energy
I have listened to this album thousands of times; and will continue to do so as it is forever fresh)
My best friend who I knew for 60 years passed on in 8/20. Coltrane was God to him. Bill was a prolific bassist who reached into guitar as well. Miss You Bill Zola~
you shoul transcribe this song on 20/8 for him
I hope that he's up there with the greats having a great session.
RIP Bill
May he Rest In Peace 🙏
May his soul rest in peace!
I still have my original copy on vinyl.
Black label?
Kudos!
OK... And?
@@dirtway1501 It’s called making conversation. The idea is that it should lead to a question that would in turn allow people to get to know one another better-an essential but often neglected practice among social beings with the ability to speak. Why the challenging posture to the statement?
It is probably worth a bundle.
Rest in Heaven John Coltrane ❤️
JAM IN HEAVEN
@@iancunningham5576 Maybe there is no music in heaven.Neither one of us are right or wrong.Just a thought.
According to Mahler's 4th Symphony, the music in Heaven is so sweet that we could not begin to imagine it.
There is no rest for the masters, they move on to their new journey to continue to bring forth the perfection of their spirits............
RIP Mr. Trane. He lived in my neighborhood in High Point NC. Hope to be as great as him one day with my music. I am 21 so even the younger generation appreciates him!
I'm sure you'll get there!
Bassist: What key is the tune in?
John: Yes
Accidental
Circles around quite nicely. Fun song to play once you get around the changes.
😂
?
Bassist: What key is the tune in?
John: nodded once at him while he keeps playing
You thought I wouldn't notice the swirling Atlantic Records logo!
🙈🤣🙈😁😂🙈😁🤣🙈😁😁😁
I genuinely didn't notice that. thank you :)
a "spiral" indeed
Should it be swirling the other way? Not that there's a right way to be fair...
Thank you!!
Giant Steps... I remember reading about how difficult a song that was to play. I can't pretend to understand all of the musical terms but wow! What an amazing album.
It isn't hard to play, is hard to improvise on.. which is kinda the same I guess. The thing about that song is that while improvising the key is like a frame, the chords are changing but at least you know the frame so you can follow. But there is this thing called Modulation where you change the key mid song, and its very disorienting because you have to change the frame you are working with.
Giants steps changes keys every two chords.
Equally difficult to play the Joe Pass version on guitar, I hear.
I've read here and there that it's loosely based on some Ravel's Ondine chords.
Standard bar set here so most think but then Countdown which changes key every measure... Ill just be in the sand box still... isnt this the greatest ?
@@cinepo Countdown changes every measure... im sorry.. in advance...
lol
20 years since my sister gave me this album on Christmas. I was 17, just started to listen to jazz, and it was really a shock. I was in the Pastorius phase, into funky stuff and some Miles Davis. But this...oh my, it was like my brain couldn't process much of what I was listening. And after all this time, the surprise is still there. There's so much to digest and appreciate. We're so lucky to have had John recording all this beauty!
Lucky enough to be in a jazz workshop a few years back, with Ravi Coltrane. He brought home movies with him to show us, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house, very touching to see a glimpse of his early family life....
Kareem Abdul Jabbar, a jazz aficionado, titled his autobiography "Giant Steps" in tribute to Coltrane, one of his heroes.
Giant Steps is masterpiece 💙
I certainly think so. I didn't dig 'A Love Supreme', but I really like Blue Train. I think Giant Steps might be my favourite, however. What do you think?
Maxim:
For real...I still can't get enuf after all these years...
Understatement. Super classic!!!!!
I vote for A Love Supreme. In my opinion it's a masterpiece. Coltrane is communicating with God.
@@craigr4763 Try "My Favorite Things" though. I also didn't listen every and each Trane's album but this one is simply unmatched, as far as I know about Trane. "Giant Steps" is extremly dense through "constant key changes" and generally "dense phrasing" and "My Favorite..." is then like "breaking free" from this density by two means: playing soprano sax (which also changed the way Trane played tenor sax) and using modal scales. Regards ;)
This is the greatest jazz album ever. Some times words can't convey how fabulous something is. Mr. P.C. forever!
AMEN
That bassline and drum rhythm is all I live for😭oh and also the sax player is pretty good
"Pretty good".Cute.
@@michaelroach4219 someone doesnt get jokes
@@extendicus262 hmm.I wonder who that could be.
LEL
Hey, the pianist isn't bad either. Before anyone screams into the void, actually he's great. I saw McCoy Tyner a couple of times. I was jamming with someone at the time who said I was hitting the piano keys too hard, and when we saw McCoy the first time, I turned to my friend and said, "I hit the keys too hard?'" Talk about a great dynamic range. Beethoven would've been happy listening to that man jamming.
Giant steps but its remastered
that's why i keep all my vinyl records....what a sin to remaster this masterpiece in the name of "better at any price"
@@titanhasfreedus8059 I agree 100%. It was already remastered correctly on the vinyl.
@@jazziccoolcat is differences
are big?
@Noise Buffet i dont think so. They master orginal tapes using analog compressors etc.
@@titanhasfreedus8059 vc n entendeu a piada
62 years old today still sounds amazing
Beethoven’s Fifth symphony originally premiered in 1808 at a huge concert in Vienna. Beethoven did all the conducting himself. 0:08 [Piano TV]
Played every song on this album. Coltrane was nuts. Jazz just poured out of his veins.
This is my favorite recording of John... fast, melodic, groovy as hell and with the right package of improvisation
I just cant stop listening something about this just keeps you coming back.
Coltrane changes. lot of science behind those ascending/descending major thirds
I know how you feel my man.
Regards from England 🏴
Giant Steps is not the only classic on this album. Naima is about as lyrical and beautiful as any jazz piece ever, and seems to have a personal component history from Coltrane.
Winton Kelly's piano solo is also strikingly beautiful.
PEACE ~ GIVE A LISTEN TO DOUG AND JEAN CARN VERSION OF NAIMA ~ HU
Naima was Trane's 1st wife.
It sounds like stepping on a complicated snake.
Never you mind what it sounds like old bean.
What a comment! 👏
complicated snake sounds so fucking funny im stealing it
lol i dont understand it but i get it tho...
Remastered? Now I'll call it 'Huge fucking steps'.
I was introduced to John Coltrane as a child by my uncle Leo Johnson and I have listened and enjoyed him so much!
Aww sad it’s the only video of him we can comment. It’s never enough to say how his music helped me through my life. A big thank you ♥️
其れならば今で言えばラジオ日経様の朝までまるごとBGMタイムを流してくれますよ。
Nobody compares to Coltrane. Often imitated never duplicated. One of a kind sax player. I listed to him every day! 😁😁😁
Music to my ears....literally! 👍🏼
Who could dislike this masterpiece?
...an envious person.
sax is out of tune
This kind of Jazz pieces require quite a bit of acquired taste. Some people may have come here because it's supposed to be a must-listen, but they're not ready to enjoy this music for various reasons. There is a ton of music I couldn't appreciate at first, and that I gradually became to appreciate, either after listening to it several times, or after listening to some other “introductory” music.
Heck, I even had a hard time listening to Thelonious Monk at first, and it's really classical & easy to listen to, compared to Miles Davis, Coltrane, etc. IMHO
"it's impossible for somebody to dislike jazz"
One of the greatest recordings of all time.
just blowing
@@ronfrey5327MIND BLOWN… COUNTDOWN JUST WOW
One of the finest God ever gave us! Thank you!
I'm starting to listen to my collection all over again, and this still sounds new.
this is a must-have album on every jazz lover's list
Giant Steps. The title performance. Every note is perfectly articulated and harmonically correct. And it's all done at a fast, fast tempo. An astounding performance by a musician, who we should fall on our knees in thanks for passing our way.
This album is absolutely magnificent!
i listen to this album while i run, so now everytime i hear it, it gets my adrenaline pumping
heh, it's in my workout playlist too.
coltrane and his saxophone are right behind you, chasing you down a busy freeway. run.
That is called behaviorism...
Bought this when it came out. I was 14 years old and listening to Stan Getz then. Imagine my surprise….I was hypnotized!!! Never the same after that. Practically wore the album out!!
Another planète this man he did harmony différents like standard jazz but the New World was not ready i think anyway hé was a great sax player and willl still for ever bye'
Masterpiece. I've had a CD reissue that incorporates many alternate takes since it came out (late 1990s? early 2000s?). But recently I bought a 200 gram vinyl reissue of the original LP - the first new LP I've bought in over 30yrs.
What did you think of the totality if the sound of the album as opposed to the CD?
@@ahambrahmasmi108 I gotta be honest w/ you i rarely if ever listen to vinyls anymore these days, I mostly listen to my iTunes library from either computer or my old iPod or my iPhone - meaning it's mostly w/ earphones, I still have a CD player in my car so its CDs or radio when driving, and on my stereo it's basically CDs too, and the occasional 'old vinyl' in that case w/o head phones...so to answer your question, I can't say for sure, it sounds different o my ears, one reason I'm sure because I've listened to it only w/o phones, it's got that vinyl warmth for sure, but I'm so used to listening w/ earphones that I can't say it is 'better', w/ earphones you can really hear the individual instruments a bit more clearly isolated, but I'm no audiophile nor am I that preceptive of frequencies and such so...the vinyl is great, but I got it mostly because of it's historical significance, I say it one of those vinyls that are worth owning. One of the criticism that I have of 'old jazz' is that despite the charm and warmth of recordings, one can't really hear the individual instruments very clearly, in many instances, piano and bass and buried, so I don't mind the earphones to enhance my listening ability...
This is not only the best but also one you’ve got to show your kids in the future
Always blessed to be hearing such Greatness!!!!❤️❤️🎷
[HEADPHONE TEST]
In which side do you hear the instruments?
Me: Sax and piano on the left, base and drums on the right
I have just onde side :(
same description, sax and piano on the left, drums and bass on the right.... it's delicious
You can hear the bass in both channels but everything else you said was right
Every chord I hear is outside my frame of reference. Ima camp here for a while. It's amazing how some minds work.
Love Coltrane, Coltrane. So much has he given to us. Beautiful.
Listened to this one many many times in Barcelona, back in the mid 1970s. JOHN COLTRANE!!! & Tommy Flanagan, Wynton Kelly , Wynton Kelly , Paul Chambers , Art Taylor (ART TAYLOR!), Jimmy Cobb, Cedar Walton , Lex Humphries & Producer Nesuhi Ertegün. DUENDE!
Fall season. Rainy Saturday morning. Wife & kids out. Hot cup of coffee. Coltrane on the speakers. Nirvana achieved.
thanks for a Coltrane experience. Humanity is taking in this boost now Dec 2020
Hearing the end of countdown for only like the 20th time and it almost brings a tear to my eye. Like when you get shivers kind of, but a different style of reaction.
This the first Jazz CD I bought back in the late 80' s when the first pressing was released. I picked up the vinyl after awhile for home listening.
Just repurchased the newest remaster.
Dig it.
They were still learning how to transfer sound from analog to digital properly back then.
@@gregmottola8539 how far we've come
My first jazz was return to forever, featuring Chick Corea
@@philmoan9432 with Bill Connors or Al DiMeola?
Amazing sounds.
Happy birthday, John❗🙏
Let's talk about the drummer... what he's playing is insane
if I'm not mistaken that's art Taylor on drums.
the under appreciated AT you will never hear him mentioned with Max,or Art, or Elvin or Klook or Roy etc but he has appeared on a ton of stuff and is always tasty@@MegaLJ3
Lend you my ears, they be flowing solid and free, crazy you know that blaring Clarity, sending me to new places I still need to go Coltrane!
Beautiful and awesome music
Coltrane all the way
Amazing album, I play bass and I like Paul Chambers. He was an awesome and amazing bass player. John Coltrane was an awesome and amazing sax player. Other than that, cool:).
This record changed the possibility of musical life for millions of musicians. Coltrane is a church.❤🙏
Justin Tyler Jimenez Hello Justin, There is excellent biography of Paul Chambers, entitled: Mr P.C. the life and music of Paul Chambers, written by Rob Palmer. ( Published by: equinox, 2012 ) Apologies if you already know this.
Saw Paul Chambers, play live with Miles Davis, at The Free Trade Hall, Manchester, U.K. in 1960.
Peace to all.
crazy album, grindcore of it's time
Came to see if this idiotic comment is real. And it is.
@@b.u.r.n9175 yeah, and?
@@oozrenn you're a meme bro
Lmao
i wish i was shitposting about music in a bunker
incredible. intricate. intelligent. imaginative. intrinsic sonic beauty
*IF I HEARD THIS IN 1960 MY HEAD WOULD'VE EXPLODED* 🤯
@joerogan I found your comments interesting. I bought this album ( Giant Steps ) in 1960, from Hime and Addison,.
Record Shop, in Manchester, England, UK. I believe I had one of the few Copies in UK, at that time.
I was 20 years of age at that time.
Over the years I've replaced with CD, etc.
Peace to all.
The original recorder of Bluenote and Prestige records, later remastered many of them labeled
RVG was Rudy Van Gelder.The sound was excellent He was the best.
This influential masterpiece brought new melodic and harmonic grounds for jazz 🤗🎷🎶
The bass panning is mental
Completely amazing! 💜
I heard one of his albums I liked it.
Now I'm into John Coltrane
one of the greats......top album of the highest order
It is often said that Tommy Flannagan was overwhelmed by the technicality of "Giant Steps" (the title, not the album), but if you listen more closely to Coltrane's solo... you will see that he was not comfortable either. There is a very recurring pattern in his improvisation, as if he couldn't get out of it. And yet, this album is a masterpiece
Yeah exactly this, I was listening to this closely trying to transcribe and I realised that Coltrane repeats a lot of stuff. They're really difficult changes and I think Flannagan gets a bad rap when he actually has some really nice ideas
Oh you're right, it's a shame Flannagan couldn't get away with it. But I think that ( I may be wrong) he's outdone because he tries to follow exactly the harmony and the chords, which is very difficult. I wonder, what if he had played it as a kinda modal improvisation... Like Coltrane in My Fav Things. However, there is a wonderful "earworm" video about it :
ua-cam.com/video/62tIvfP9A2w/v-deo.html
i don't think that's true, coltrane had been playing those sequences for years already. if you transcribe the solo you can tell just how deliberate the repetition is and how masterfully he weaves together recurring ideas throughout the 11 first choruses.
just check out how easy he blows over countdown; he got those changes down.
@@ellblaek1032 Ah ok. I'm currently 2 choruses in on my transcription so I'll look out for that
@@benwinstanleymusic oh duude you are in for a treat! it's basically a masterclass on flowing between pentatonic shapes, keep an ear out for the sparse bebop lines and altered shapes (: what instrument are you transcribing on?
Spiral and Naima are two masterpieces !
Forever unbelievable🎶🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏
Taking a coffee while listening to this Master piece in My lunch time, enough to recharge energy for the rest of My shift.❤️☕🎷
He is very spiritual. His connection with The Creator is powerful. He is a healer, and well trained. He and Miles Davis creating a new genre of what is 'free jazz'. blazing a trail of intimacy with your chosen instrment(s). Thank Allah for Him and Miles Davis.....
Artistically and musically superb, a real gem
A pure masterpiece 💙♥️❤️
Thanks for sharing this!
By far,the best remastering of this record.The tenor sax now sounds like a tenor sax!
Lol
EVERYTHING COLTRANE DOES IS TRULY PERFECT FOR ME.
Happy birthday John Coltrane
I have just forgot how much I love this album!
Yes thanks for uploading!
Thanks for posting this
cool video edits too thanks for the remaster
Spent the last 2 days listening to this for the first time. Favorite track is Naima. So far, have only listened to Love Supreme from Coltrane. I like his music, very much.
They may have been quietly bleeding to death, but the rhythm section gives great accompaniment, and swings their tails off..
Merci à vous Mr John Williams Coltrane pour cette belle musique 🎶
God damn that "smooth" Giant steps rendition gave me shivers hearing it.
Excellent work
Uncomplicated fill my heart with joy!
While strolling in the meadows of the present, you can pick bouquets of crazy and improbable flowers, come back with sumptuous extracts of this sensitive musician and skinned and say that you sometimes gain time to ignore so much of these contemporary musics to finally gain in strenght and serenity 💖
You what
Oh my God,you're scaring me.
🤠😎@@flannberry
Some would say this is the highest form of music
This is Giant in 2021, still, relevant!
This is the musical equivalent of getting lost in Manhattan…
Wait… we need to go three blocks up!! What? Three blocks down? Then two more? Three blocks more? Then south and East one block? Why can’t we just keep going south? ….because we have to go north from there up three more blocks to get to the subway? I give up…. Let’s just call a cab…
Ahh hh im two years new to the Metropolis and this Joey is indeed correct ! Peace
rediscoverin this album again and again... for reasons :-)
Thanks for sharing! This is my musical father ❤
Such a beautiful album!
His music truly is enchanting...

Animating this adds that little touch
Ridiculous. How can anyone be so good? The music hasn’t aged a bit. Feel fortunate to be able to appreciate John’s genius. Feel sorry for the millions raised on what sells as “music” today. They can’t understand it because it’s not auto tuned and overproduced. Thank you, John.
They enjoy music with autotune and you don't. What's wrong with that? They're fortunate to be able to listen and appreciate music they love everyday on the radio. Your bitterness is the reason why most people see jazz as an elitist, boring music.
@@tdb517 Spoken like a true tin-ear mass consumer. It's not only jazz; great music also includes other genres where people actually play instruments. Britney Spears and others like her putting out overproduced, one chord music, is objectively crap, regardless how many "appreciate" it. Just because millions enjoy fast food doesn't make it valuable or worthy of respect. And I'm not "bitter"; I made an observation. I think you looked inward and found yourself bitter.
A lot of this album has a melancholy feel like it could be on a Taxi Driver soundtrack. And that's not a bad thing
What did that guy say about the sax player being pretty good? That motherfucker must have shot in his ears.Coltrane is SUPERB!!!!
Beautiful thanks
Brings you in to a more realistic experience love the mono recordings
Love Coltrane's music - special pride because he was born in my hometown.
Classic tune😎😎
One of my first jazz albums!!!
Any music you play blues , classic, rock, new age , fusion , hip hop etcetera etcetera , comes from this man a real genius , the master of art . Great album
Excellent album
