Prancing along the rock that brings us tides, wolven frights, chills of midnight - one thousand years from now, will the cheesewheel flashlight still exist? Will it be remembered? The "space race" was a mere showcase of diplomatic cock, fluttering in the wind. Art is what persists through the locker room tomfoolery, no matter how hard the cunts that be try to squash what makes us whole, what makes life worth living. What's really the biggest step for mankind? Coltrane will outlast the silliness. The American brainwash centers neglect to place this intergalactic shaman alongside Whitman, Twain, Fitzgerald. Then again, even the wordsmiths of old have been cast aside in favor of Snapchat, or so it seems. I dropped out the day I turned sixteen, and I've never been smarter.
The eternal groove of your soul bouncing around, bopping, swinging, consumed by beauty, closing one's eyes and simply letting go, and I'm not talking about Elsa. I haven't even seen Frozen. The word "frozen," in the context of a review for John Coltrane's Giant Steps, has a multitude of applicable uses. The listener is "frozen" by the mesmerizing grooves, salivating and begging for more aural sweetness, yet the listener is simultaneously unable to keep from surrendering to the groove. Spreading open the hole and screaming for Trane to take you. Aliens come today, and ask for the leader - an unlikely scenario, but let's say they're toying with us a bit before annihilating us. It's merely a thoughtless round of The Sims 2 for the tall whites. Shame that Trane isn't still laying down the sheetmetal roof that we call the American soul.

i always think about how jc recorded this and kind of blue in the same year and die a bit inside
| | |
This stuff all sounds the same to me. Ugh I don't get it. I want more stuff like Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
| | |
A Love Supreme comes to mind too. A little homogenous also but I really dig that one. Jazz remains the least accessible genre, for me. I much prefer it as a fusion, like in Nujabes

gyno, think about what you just typed son. "people only 5 this album because coltranes a legend."
art isnt some conspiracy. if youre not into trane the problem is you
| | | Album Rating: 4.5
I mean, is it a problem? If you're not into someone's music it's just... a thing, I guess.
Although, it is imperative to mention Coltrane is a jazz legend for good reason, at least in the jazz harmony and theory sector, not to mention in the avant-jazz field...

He is a legend for many reasons, one of which is this and several other fantastic albums and his time playing with Miles, on other legendary albums, so ya people give this a 5 because he is a legend, listen and you will see why he earned that title
| | | Album Rating: 4.5
Imo, his band leader work throughout the 60s did more to make him a legend than playing with Miles

This review sounds like a Tom Waits poem.
I like it
