    The first time I heard Giant Steps I was astonished, so I played it to my very young children on long car journeys so they would grow up to be hip, and possibly also hep, but certainly cats of some kind. After learning to read, the smallest child was equally astonished to learn that this song was performed by John Coltrane, and not Jungle Train as he had previously believed. Anyway, nice work

    What a *glorious* version! I thought there'd be no topping the piano lead-in, but it only heated up from there! BTW, my son sent me this link. Giant Steps on my Dad's record player is a signal childhood memory of mine. This stuff runs through our very veins, and folks like you keep it warm and fresh.

    this is actually so good. i’m currently trying to learn the changes on alto and also piano so i can have the ability to solo but also comp a wind player. your rendition of this piece is so good! best cover version of giant steps i’ve heard since flannagan’s :D
