Lyrics: You just broke the news Giant steps in giant shoes Dignified as you strive Ever more satisfied You Know It's an easy climb Stepping ten miles at a time Make the move as you prove Giant steps lose the blues

John Coltrane... would be very comfortable... with this... Amazingly... Perfect... Jazz-Singing rendition... of his... Great Tune....`GIANT`S TEPS`...!!!
These guys are very very competent. I've heard Giant Steps played by Coltrane for decades and I'm very glad to hear this great interpretation by the New York Voices, interpretation which honours Coltrane music.
A SPECTACULAR performance of the Coltrane classic by Grammy-winners "New York Voices" with Darmon Meador (the tall guy in the photos) with a wild scat vocal plus Mulgrew Miller soloing on piano with abandon. Lewis Nash's drumming is superb, especially his cymbal work. The vocal ensemble's 'overlapping round' figurations are breath-taking.
WOW! Great version, love it!!! Este espectacular "Giant Steps" en las voces de @NYVoices89 era parte de su segundo álbum, "Hearts of Fire", editado por GRP en 1991. El grupo, creado en 1987 como un quinteto formado por Peter Eldridge, Caprice Fox, Sara Krieger, Darmon Meader y Kim Nazarian es actualmente un cuarteto del que forma parte Lauren Kinhan, tras la marcha de Krieger y Fox. #JazzVocals
geniuses. .. those scatting can only be executed by people whose brains are so developed to understand high levels in music. .. of course, this appreciation includes the band which renders equally high-calibre performance.
The "soloist" is an excellent saxophone player as well. He simply articulates what he would do if playing the sax. (Darmon Meader - who arranges many of the songs too).
Haha it's a tough song! I sang this with WMU's Gold Company last year and it was such a bitch to learn! Not as difficult as when we were learning Bobby McFerrin's "The Garden" but still pretty nuts!
My friend told me: (also from wiki) "La petite mort, French for 'the little death', is an idiom and euphemism for orgasm." We all "die a little" when we hear this.
Jazz singers are accomplished musicians and many among them showed us the right path. From Satchmo to Kurt Elling, from Annie Ross to Ella Fitzgerald or contemporary Dianne Reeves ; and many many others. They do not sing with their vocal cords, but mostly with their brain, mind and heart, flesh and bones. Anyway, when we talk - just talk - our whole body plays, as an instrument. Maybe, the most beautiful. Ever.
I actually disagree! I might be reading too much into it, but I think the lyrics are vague and kind of nonsensical because you're meant to find the feeling behind the words rather than the literal meaning and you have to put a story together for yourself... The song means something different to each person that hears it!
read em again they're pretty cool. its about somebody who's turning heads because something bad happened to them but they're taking it like a champ and moving forward.. with giants steps.
