The article needs to take into account and discuss the different versions of the album that have been released over the years. The current page is based on the inital CD release, which is not current with newer re-releases by Rhino. -- Viriditas | Talk 02:42, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Since The Heavyweight Champion is one of those "complete Atlantic recordings" type box sets, it doesn't belong in the versions. Anyway it's given a mention in the tracks. The Legendary Jazz doesn't belong either, as it's a compilation containing what appears to be the standard CD release, along with Mingus and Roland Kirk albums and a Rhino sampler. The Mobile Fidelity cover suggests it's the standard CD release, but as a Gold CD it should be mentioned. - mako 06:38, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Despite the year it came out, this song is not hard bop. It's bebop. In fact, it's unmistakable bebop. Considering that many people take Wikipedia to be canonical, this really needs to get fixed -- in fact, this might be a canonical bebop tune. Sliver ( talk) 23:48, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Hey I removed this, I'm not coming back here I was a jazz major I disagree with this sentence and the citation hasn't been added for years.
The ability to play over the Giant Steps cycle remains to this day one of the benchmark standards by which a jazz musician's improvising skill is measured.{{Citation needed|date=August 2011}}

Please be gentle, this is my first time... Giant Steps was a ground breaking album in the Jazz genre. Many musicians cover songs on this album and it is considered a quintessential example of the "Coltrane Sound." ---

Agreed Joelotz! But the article is missing some things before it's a B.

Not moved. There is clear consensus against the proposed move. bd2412 T 16:58, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
– Giant Steps is well known in jazz circles as a composition. Therefore there lacks a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC in this case. --Comment by Selfie City ( talk about my contributions) 22:50, 18 May 2019 (UTC)
If you wish to make changes to the author tags and string formatting, please discuss here first. There is no requirement for or value to the changes made, and they have been reverted to the status quo prior to those edits. In addition, the use of a last name tag for a complete author name is not correct, and can lead to errors for microformatting; bots etc. Cambial Yellowing ❧ 15:15, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
author=
parameter was used and the clean-up script converts that to a last=
and adds a fist=
. My error was that I did not check if it was unpopulated at that point. Otherwise, everything was correct.
