In jazz harmony , the Coltrane changes ( Coltrane Matrix or cycle , also known as chromatic third relations and multi-tonic changes ) are a harmonic progression variation using substitute chords over common jazz chord progressions. These substitution patterns were first demonstrated by jazz musician John Coltrane on the album Blue Train on the tunes " Lazy Bird " and "Moment's Notice". Coltrane continued his explorations on the 1960 album Giant Steps , and expanded upon the substitution cycle in his compositions " Giant Steps " and "Countdown", the latter of which is a reharmonized version of Miles Davis 's "Tune Up." The ability to solo over the Giant Steps/Coltrane cycle remains one of the standards by which a jazz musician's improvising ability is measured.
