    Giant Steps... I remember reading about how difficult a song that was to play. I can't pretend to understand all of the musical terms but wow! What an amazing album.

    • @cinepo
      @cinepo 3 ปีที่แล้ว +42

      It isn't hard to play, is hard to improvise on.. which is kinda the same I guess. The thing about that song is that while improvising the key is like a frame, the chords are changing but at least you know the frame so you can follow. But there is this thing called Modulation where you change the key mid song, and its very disorienting because you have to change the frame you are working with.
      Giants steps changes keys every two chords.

      @@craigr4763 Try "My Favorite Things" though. I also didn't listen every and each Trane's album but this one is simply unmatched, as far as I know about Trane. "Giant Steps" is extremly dense through "constant key changes" and generally "dense phrasing" and "My Favorite..." is then like "breaking free" from this density by two means: playing soprano sax (which also changed the way Trane played tenor sax) and using modal scales.

    20 years since my sister gave me this album on Christmas. I was 17, just started to listen to jazz, and it was really a shock. I was in the Pastorius phase, into funky stuff and some Miles Davis. But this...oh my, it was like my brain couldn't process much of what I was listening. And after all this time, the surprise is still there. There's so much to digest and appreciate. We're so lucky to have had John recording all this beauty!

      Hey, the pianist isn't bad either. Before anyone screams into the void, actually he's great. I saw McCoy Tyner a couple of times. I was jamming with someone at the time who said I was hitting the piano keys too hard, and when we saw McCoy the first time, I turned to my friend and said, "I hit the keys too hard?'" Talk about a great dynamic range. Beethoven would've been happy listening to that man jamming.

      This kind of Jazz pieces require quite a bit of acquired taste. Some people may have come here because it's supposed to be a must-listen, but they're not ready to enjoy this music for various reasons. There is a ton of music I couldn't appreciate at first, and that I gradually became to appreciate, either after listening to it several times, or after listening to some other “introductory” music.
      Heck, I even had a hard time listening to Thelonious Monk at first, and it's really classical & easy to listen to, compared to Miles Davis, Coltrane, etc. IMHO

      @@ahambrahmasmi108 I gotta be honest w/ you i rarely if ever listen to vinyls anymore these days, I mostly listen to my iTunes library from either computer or my old iPod or my iPhone - meaning it's mostly w/ earphones, I still have a CD player in my car so its CDs or radio when driving, and on my stereo it's basically CDs too, and the occasional 'old vinyl' in that case w/o head phones...so to answer your question, I can't say for sure, it sounds different o my ears, one reason I'm sure because I've listened to it only w/o phones, it's got that vinyl warmth for sure, but I'm so used to listening w/ earphones that I can't say it is 'better', w/ earphones you can really hear the individual instruments a bit more clearly isolated, but I'm no audiophile nor am I that preceptive of frequencies and such so...the vinyl is great, but I got it mostly because of it's historical significance, I say it one of those vinyls that are worth owning. One of the criticism that I have of 'old jazz' is that despite the charm and warmth of recordings, one can't really hear the individual instruments very clearly, in many instances, piano and bass and buried, so I don't mind the earphones to enhance my listening ability...

    It is often said that Tommy Flannagan was overwhelmed by the technicality of "Giant Steps" (the title, not the album), but if you listen more closely to Coltrane's solo... you will see that he was not comfortable either. There is a very recurring pattern in his improvisation, as if he couldn't get out of it. And yet, this album is a masterpiece

    • @benwinstanleymusic
      @benwinstanleymusic 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Yeah exactly this, I was listening to this closely trying to transcribe and I realised that Coltrane repeats a lot of stuff. They're really difficult changes and I think Flannagan gets a bad rap when he actually has some really nice ideas

    • @ethanrin9518
      @ethanrin9518 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Oh you're right, it's a shame Flannagan couldn't get away with it. But I think that ( I may be wrong) he's outdone because he tries to follow exactly the harmony and the chords, which is very difficult. I wonder, what if he had played it as a kinda modal improvisation... Like Coltrane in My Fav Things. However, there is a wonderful "earworm" video about it :

      i don't think that's true, coltrane had been playing those sequences for years already. if you transcribe the solo you can tell just how deliberate the repetition is and how masterfully he weaves together recurring ideas throughout the 11 first choruses.
      just check out how easy he blows over countdown; he got those changes down.

Britney Spears and others like her putting out overproduced, one chord music, is objectively crap, regardless how many "appreciate" it. Just because millions enjoy fast food doesn't make it valuable or worthy of respect. And I'm not "bitter"; I made an observation. I think you looked inward and found yourself bitter.
