SEE the music of Coltrane
'Giant Steps' by John Coltrane is a BeBop classic. Whenever we listen to it we are free to paint a picture of how the music builds and disintegrates, goes out of melody and back again. Here is a beutiful flash movie by Michal Levi that paints such a picture in amazing synchronization with the musical structure. A dot starts out on a (musical) line, other lines join to form a building, then a city is formed. And just as it is there, it disintegrates into a cloud of dots. It's not that after this movie Coltrane's music will never be the same, but we have been shown another dimension to it. | ![Buy 'Giant Steps [Deluxe Edition]'](http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000003489.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg) WATCH 'Giant Steps Flash' |

It's spelled "Coltrane," and he was *not* a be-bop player (unlike, say, Charlie Parker).
Thanks for spotting the spelling mistake (not that it was that hard to spot...)
About him *not* being a be-bop player - sure he is unlike Parker, but Parker is not the only be-bop player, though he is probably the one to be measured by.
