This is what John Coltrane's landmark tune and solo look like when they come to life on paper.

If you try to play along, you may notice that the transcription for the head is transposed for C and the solo's in Bb. Weird, I know, but the transcription book that I based this animation on was in concert.

    And here's a full lyric set by thejoyofsax!; X)

    "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"

    I think it might have been the end of the track that came before this. All of the versions and outtakes I have don't have that as an introduction to the tune.

    I read in another video, he painstakingly used photoshop, note by note. Then assembled in video editor.

    Or his answer was sarcastic...
