Giant Steps on Samui? wow. (lady singers should learn to sing in nice keys before they get their licence. No more than 3 flats or sharps? or make that 2?) I might make my first visit to Samui in 9 years this July.

Lady singer licences! Love it. If they can't count the sharps and flats they can't do the song.
OK 'Body and Soul in C#, 12/8, and swing it please'.
Reminds me of the classic Nashville line for open mic nights.
Q. How many chick singers does it take to sing Patsey Cline/Willie Nelson's 'Crazy'
A. Apparently ALL of them.

Cheers. So that's what's been going on since I left my hotel gig on Samui, 97-99

@baantalingngam LOL. The sax player and I played together at Red Snapper last night. We had a Thai upright bass and drummer, Austrailian piano, and myself on guitar instead of bass. We even pulled off Giant Steps. I admit to never doing a guitar solo on G.S. before, it was interesting. What would Pat Metheny do? There was also a lady singer and that meant lots of transposing. So this was somewhere between classic hotel cover gig and bebop jam session.

That's not Jazz?
Tell that to Sun Ra, Anthony Braxton and Cecil Taylor.
Free jazz is a movement with in Jazz, of improvisation without form.
Many 'classic jazz' buffs think this is pure jazz, and intensely dislike the more pop stuff.
It's of course a matter of taste, but this is jazz and no other category. Like it or not.
