A 10 minute solo loop of John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" at a slightly slower tempo (about 240bpm).
This is just the isolated tracks of bass (Paul Chambers) and drums (Art Taylor) from THE ORIGINAL 1960 JOHN COLTRANE RECORDING for practice purposes. It is a one chorus loop so it's repetitive but great for improvising practice.

I think Coltrane's volume was not turned up during this video.

And here I was thinking Trane was gonna jump in any moment..

@plangentmusic Easier to practice with- my vocal coach thought it would be good excersise if i tried scatting along to this, I'm incredibly glad she didn't find the original version...
