Hey everyone - here is the final video in my #BAM influences week! Part 5 features the incomparable John Coltrane. This video features Dom Palombi on a sax/drums duo version of Giant Steps. Hope you enjoy!

Awesome playing Dave! That's quite a challenging tune, but you seem to go through effortlessly. The drum duel was pretty sweet too. Loved it!

This is one of those tunes I've always wanted to give a run at, but never felt like I'd be able to tackle it, so I just walk away, but I'll listen to you and Kenny Garrett tackle this tune all day!

Thanks so much! When you really break the tune down it's not terribly difficult (I find Countdown, 26-2, Moment's Notice, etc. much more difficult than Giant Steps). Play it as a nice slow ballad, and focus on all of the V-I progressions. Don't worry about "Coltrane changes" in this one - it's just a bunch of V-Is and ii-V-Is throughout!

Dave, I think I can recognize your sound and style now. So distinctive!
