Coltrane

Celebrate indeed! The full significance of that record is not always appreciated. The tune "Giant Steps", and a jazz player's ability to convincingly play over it's harmonic changes, is still one of the main litmus tests for credibility as a modern jazz improviser on any instrument. That tune literally and singlehandedly changed the face and direction of jazz. Amazing!

In case anyone wonders where it all began. Do I hear a bird?
