232. John Coltrane: Giant Steps (1960)

This week's episode will have you feeling like a stranger in a strange land when you listen to the best podcast about John Coltrane and the 232nd greatest album of all time, Giant Steps.   Before we get to the music, we'll help you get hella full with some pancake preparation tips straight from a random grocery store clerk. We also enjoy some record store zen featuring new and used albums. Then we provide some travel tips for all of you heading to Ireland and Costa Rica...passport, pants, and electrolytes....you may want to write that down.    Then, at (55:00), we turn this taco truck into a Ferrari and become the best jazz podcast by breaking down John Coltrane's seminal jazz album. We discuss Coltrane's devotion to jazz music, chord changes, and the fastest songs of all time.    Next week's episode is certain to include many previous things when we become the best Tori Amos podcast and cover her debut studio album, Little Earthquakes.
