Giant Steps by John Coltrane is considered to be one of the most important jazz albums ever produced. It’s title track is particularely unique, as it contains peculiar chord shifts called „The Coltrane changes”. Improvising over these chords may prove to be a challenge even for highly skilled musicians. On top of that the song’s tempo is an astounding 290 BPM. The shifts were born from Coltrane’s fascination with patterns on, what’s called, „The circle of fifths”. In short, the circle shows us how similar different musical keys are to one another. Coltrane basically connected keys that differed the most by using the V-I relation. Because of that, the song remains harmonious and to this day amazes new generations of jazz enthusiasts.
