Description:
Inspired by John Coltrane's Giant Steps, this slow swing ballad features a simple melody over a fairly complex chord structure (voiced for rhythm section if not playing changes). Evoking images of dark, smoky jazz clubs of the '50s, a warm flugelhorn (opt.) solo adds to the mystique and charm. Beautiful ensemble writing within the framework of a mature-sounding yet technically approachable ballad.
