Upon even cursory examination, Coltrane's solos on GIANT STEPS, on the contrary -- despite the prevalence of furious tempos (which should not be confused with how many notes PER BEAT are being played!) -- actually do NOT contain a preponderance of the notorious 16th-note passages.
"Giant Steps" is a crash course in the tuneful yet thought-provoking melodic and harmonic structures that Coltrane utilizes throughout the rest of the album, not only in his magnificent soloing, but in the support structures of the piano and bass as well.
As the name suggests, this is designed as a showcase for the marvelous Paul Chambers, just as "Giant Steps" was named after his enormous harmonic leaps in that song.

Although Giant would eventually lead him to a career in graphic design, in the beginning Fairey wanted to remain anonymous.
But he's also continued to produce Giant stickers, posters, stencils, and T-shirts, and they've spawned various bootlegs and parodies, as if the campaign were a pop song.
There was a surge of publicity for Fairey and Giant in the mid '90s, but things are quieter on the media front lately, and the word about Giant passes, much as it used to, from person to person.

 Jazz Resource Library - Audio Snippets
"Giant Steps" is harmonically advanced, innovative, and is one of the most challenging tunes in the standard jazz repertoire on which to improvise (being able to do so is considered a "right of passage" for up-and-coming young jazz players).
Tommy Flanagan, one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time, struggles with his improvisation to such a degree that eventually Coltrane reenters during his solo to relieve him (Flanagan, along with the rest of the band, were given the music just prior to recording).
Incidentally, Flanagan subsequently recorded a trio album called "Giant Steps" (enja CD 4022-2) on which he redeems himself, demonstrating his expert ability at playing the tune.

Recorded in May 1959 (one month after completing Davis' KIND OF BLUE), GIANT STEPS is Coltrane's first recital to feature nothing but hisown original compositions, and is the culmination of his obsessive foray into harmony.
By taking all of the notes in a chord--and trying to find every possible inversion and relevant substitution--the saxophonist was forced to develop a complex new form of melodic phrasing that enabled him to rhythmically crowd every permutation into a single phrase.
'Giant Steps' is an album that any serious music lover should have in their collection, artistic, cerebral and emotional all at the same time.
