Giant Steps examines the most important figures in the creation of modern jazz; detailing the emergence of bebop through the likes of Dizzy Gillespie; Charlie Parker; Fats Navarro; Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk. Using this as its starting point; Giant Steps subsequently delves into the developments of jazz composition; modal jazz and free jazz. The music of each of these great masters is examined in detail and will provide both a fine introduction for the large audience newly attracted to the music but unsure of their direction through it; as well as an entertaining and informative read for those with a more substantial background.
