Re: Giant Steps
Check out trumpeter John Eckert on the CD "Lee Konitz Nonet". Freddie HUbbard wrote a composition based on the changes to "Giant Steps" entitled "Dear John"......check out his version on the CD entitled "Bolivia".

Re: Giant Steps
John Swana and Joe Magnarelli tear it up on a Criss Cross session together (with a nice Swana melody to boot).

Ryan Kisor plays great on the Carnegie Hall Band CD.

Claudio Roditi is awesome on his Jazz Turns Samba disc.

There's a recording of Rotondi nailing it on a One For All Album

Tim Hagans plays a solo on Jon Gordon's album "Ask Me now" that is worth transcribing every bit.

Former Caruso Winner John Sneider also has a version on his debut album...

I'm sure I have more but this is from the top of my head.

Cheers,

t

Re: Giant Steps
seems like Eddie Lewis had a downloadable book that had patterns written out over the changes to Giant Steps that was designed to get you connecting through the changes starting with easy stuff and progressing.....

Sort of...

I have a set of three solo improvisations on YouTube and one of them is loosely based on Giant Steps:

YouTube - 3 Solo Jazz Improvisations by Trent Austin

I also have on my new website another "solo" version of Giant Steps:

Welcome to www.trentaustin.com!


I do love playing on this progression and have learned a lot from listening to as many versions as possible!


Best,

T
