I'm a jazz bassist and I'm telling you all: if you wanna swing at fast tempos, you have to push! But, pushing shouldn't be confused with speeding up - that's with drummers do, ha ha. Only kidding... But seriously, one of the first compliments that I ever got when I first started playing jazz 22 years ago - and one of the first complaints that I heard about bassists - was that my 'time' was good whereas so many bass players dragged and slowed down. Anyway, that's my two cents on the issue...
I wish Trane didnt 'move on" from Giant Steps...I would have loved hearing many great Live versions of that piece with the great quartet. I know Trane got away from all those changes, but it would have been fantastic!
@PaGoO The bassist is Nat Reeves, and I wouldn't say he's "pushing" the time. His swing is consistently a head of the beat, he is locked with the time but he is ahead of it. Its a burnin swing.
I can reassure you, bassist Nat Reeves is not pushing it at all. It's just... the bass mix is a bit louder as the drums, so it gives you the impression of being inaccurate. It's definetely not.

Incredible! The bassist sound like he's really pushing the time, though. To my humble ears, anyway. Kirkland is unreal, sad he passed away
