  • Wikipedia says:

    . The ability to play over the "Giant Steps"/Coltrane cycle remains to this day one of the benchmark standards by which a jazz musician's improvising skill is measured.

  • @josh78413 Thanks, josh. You have identified the reason why I did this project--to prove to myself that I could do it. The changes in this tune are so different from every other tune I know that, except for the Coltrane chorus I quoted, I had to "improvise" the choruses over a period of weeks, working out every phrase. What a joyful project! I'm going to do more.

  • I can discuss off line with you if you send me an email.

  • Great, man. Nice job of making it all come together. I love this style of play. Will you also be gracing us with some 'fingerpicking joplin'? Please?
