Ranked #102 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "He played with a heated melodic enthusiasm - flying clusters of notes - that declared new possibilities for jazz improvisation...", 5 Stars - Excellent - "...Coltrane has managed to combine all the swing of Pres with the virility of Hawkins and added to it a highly individual, personal sound as well as a complex and logical, and therefore fascinating, mind...tag this LP as one of the important ones...", "...essential for all serious jazz collections....The culmination of 'Trane's sheets-of-sound period...GIANT STEPS brought the chordal improvising of bebop to its breaking point..."
