Giant Steps

Giant Steps: 60th Anniversary Deluxe Edition will be available as a 180-gram double-LP set and as a double-CD set. Both versions include the newly remastered version of the original album plus eight alternate takes. • The recordings come packaged in a replica of the original sleeve and labels used for the album's first stereo pressing, and the packages, each with a booklet, include photos, never-before-seen images of Atlantic Records ephemera, original liner notes, and new liner notes written by Grammy®-winning music historian, Ashley Kahn. • In the new liner notes that accompany the vinyl and CD sets, Kahn details the album's origins and eloquently writes about its lasting impact, while interweaving quotes and commentary from Coltrane's peers, critics, and family. 'And yet…Giant Steps is Exhibit A of how Coltrane's obsession with the inner mechanics of music could not—and did not—impede his lyrical priority as a soloist, nor his compositional knack for inventing memorable, deeply entrancing melodies, says Kahn.
