Giant Steps (1960)

“perhaps Coltrane’s most playable, memorable, and best-sustained record. The tunes are uniformly marvellous, riffs or steps or even melodies which have become integral parts of the modern jazz book” (Penguin Jazz Guide)

My Favourite Things (1961)

“dominated by his soprano sax … the important thing is that both Coltrane and Tyner reduce the material to a couple of scales and ignore the changes, without forgetting to return to the main theme ..gives the music a suitably endless feel” (Penguin Jazz Guide)
