50th anniversary of
kind of blue & giant step |
|
| Once upon a time, there were giants that walked the earth. Often they carried musical instruments with them and would use them to communicate beautiful, wonderful things to the world. The best of them would take it upon themselves to be the gatherer of such giants. They would become the giants of giants. They would become the leaders of giants and through their leadership the gatherings of giants, with their gleaming instruments, would bestow great gifts upon the earth. Miles Davis and John Coltrane were such giants of giants. Kind of Blue and Giant Step are such gifts. And after a half a century we have yet to be revisited by such beings bearing blessings of such bounty. |
