beatiful...

but why this tune have this name?

what does this mean?

[tayottt]

In an interview Wayne said he named it Fee fi fo fum because while he was writing it he was thinking of mythical creatures and the like.

[MrMisab]

I like how the only reason you'd say that is to make someone mad

Nah man it got its name from Giant Steps, Fee Fi Fo Fum is what the giant says:

If you look at the chord changes, every other chord (in other words any chord on beats 2and4) are the changes to Giant steps, and he writes approach chords to the Trane fundamentals. then the two sections are divides by a backwards blues.

Shows Wayne's genius. He's a wonderful musician through and through

[GentlemanBass]

He kinda looks like Denzel Washington.

Wayne KILLS on this tune! I'm sitting here doing a spreadsheet right now and I can't tell you how much more intricate this tune is over doing a formula in Excel. Simplistically beautiful yet more complicated than a politician. Wayne is that dude!!!!

[skoolboi109]

this melody is so beautiful and simple.. thank God or who ever it is you worship for the beauty of music.

I heard some Michigan State Univ. students playing this at a jam session and i've never forgotten it!! they played with such beauty and emotion. Much respect to Diego Rivera, Rodney Whitaker, Wessel Warmdaddy Anderson, Etienne Charles, Randy Gillespie, and the new jazz studes profs for producing some great future leaders in the jazz world. Im proud to be a spartan

@dizzysyrinx I've always heard it's a play on Giant Steps. It has some loose harmonic connection with that tune and Fee fi fo fum is what the giant in Jack and the Beanstalk said.
