Well, we did Giant Steps at 400 then got challenged by Simon Fransman to do a 40bpm version. So what did we do? ...a 40bpm version. This features Mike Noordzy on bass and Dom Palombi on drums. Enjoy!!

Beautiful! Your sound just grabs me and mesmerizes me.

You guys can make it great at any tempo.

Fabulous. Dave, I think you played many fewer notes in this version than in the fast one.

However, in honor of your object of worship, I think you should have played this one on soprano....

 

[J-Moen]

Awesome stuff Dave, I'd be so lost at that tempo. Any song, any tempo? You up to that challenge? 🙂

This reminds me of how I have to practice Yardbird's songs. I cannot seem to get his licks at any sort of reasonable tempo!

 

[Keith Ridenhour]

that was really cool . K and your keys sound great K

 

[Dave Pollack]

Thanks everyone for checking it out! Glad you dug it.

It's still hits me so funny because I can hear you announcing this at a gig.... " Ladies and gentlemen, now for a beautiful ballad that everyone loves, we are going to play that great slow standard, Giant Steps".

Excellent David. The nicest version of Giant Steps EVER!

 

[Kenneth]

That was really, really nice. I think I actually prefer "Giant Steps" as a ballad (dodging arrows).

Apropos Steve's suggestion above, how about playing it on soprano WITH The Exalted One? That would be a blast!

Thanks for sharing,
Kenneth

 

[Jazzoetry]

Nice Tone on that Phone.

 

[guidocreo]

But how beautiful is it? Very very nice !

 

[Bloo Dog]

Wow. This may be my favorite version.

 

[Lambros]

Very cool and I hear Central Park West in your rendition; the super mellow vibe and virtually the same/similar changes.

 

[Dr G]

Loooong tooooones!

Nicely done. Thanks for sharing that, Dave. I’m going to reimagine it played on bari, ala Mulligan.

All the best to you and yours,

George
