The first time I heard Giant Steps I was astonished, so I played it to my very young children on long car journeys so they would grow up to be hip, and possibly also hep, but certainly cats of some kind. After learning to read, the smallest child was equally astonished to learn that this song was performed by John Coltrane, and not Jungle Train as he had previously believed. Anyway, nice work

@CharlesZoll Год назад

This is a great story I want this experience for my children

@wesboz8776 Год назад

2:20 is my favorite part of the recording and the essence of jazz. Abdias hits a "wrong" note (it sounded fine but didn't technically fit the chord) and Eric within seconds voices the note in the next chord to make it seem correct. Just incredible playing.

The title is correct. This piece is actually John Coltrane's "personal practice exercise" to challenge himself and meant to maneuver through odd time signatures, key changes and modes. Pianist Tommy Flanagan thought it was ridiculous when it was first introduced.

the title is sarcastic. its obviously music. a classic seminal piece of iconic music by one of the greats.

You guys took a very challenging tune and made it sound very musical and approachable. This is not only deeply listenable and enjoyable but downright groovin. I really like the feeling. Nice job by the tenor player using approach notes and other things to smooth out the modal shifts. Just sounds relaxed and pleasant, not as jarring and chaotic as when folks often play this tune

A top-shelf rendition of THE benchmark standard. You have arrived. richard -- “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.” - Duke Ellington -- So when you next ponder something, ask yourself “Does it swing?” If the answer is “no” then it means nothing.
