Stuart celebrates the 60th anniversary of the jazz saxophonist’s Giant Steps album. Plus, listeners’ suggestions from 1970’s French space pop to improvised jazz made in lockdown.

Stuart celebrates the 60th anniversary of the jazz saxophonist’s seminal Giant Steps album. First recorded in 1959 in New York City, Coltrane just two weeks after finishing Kind of Blue, his collaborative album with jazz trumpeter Miles Davis which later became the best-selling jazz album in history. Jubilant and playful, Giant Steps has been consistently lauded in history for inventing memorable, deeply entrancing complex melodies whilst also delivering an incredibly accessible listen.

Plus, listeners’ suggestions from 1970’s French space pop to improvised trumpet and percussive jazz duets made whilst in lockdown as well as melodic synthesized soundscapes inspired by British fairy folklore
