"John Coltrane, one of jazz historyβs most revered saxophonists, released 'Giant Steps' in 1959. Itβs known across the jazz world as one of the most challenging compositions to improvise over for two reasons - itβs fast and itβs in three keys."
Occasionally I like to buy an album knowing nothing about the artist or the music it contains, based maybe on a few hints from an evocative cover image or song list.
This is one of those albums and it's absolutely amazing. If you know anything about it, please chime in.
EDIT: Finding some bios online. AKA: Kofi Ghanaba... Oh! He's in The Rough Guide to Jazz under "Ghanaba."
