Trivia
"'Giant Steps'" is a jazz recording by John Coltrane, on tenor saxophone, which is the first track on the album of the same name and is 4 minutes and 49 seconds long. The composition is a milestone for jazz musicians' progress, given the difficulty of improvising its rapid progression of chord changes that progress through three keys shifted by major thirds. The saxophonist had previously used this technique on the LP Blue Train on the tunes Moment's Notice and Lazy Bird.
