Description:
SATB, improv in alto & soprano. The entire story of Jack & the Beanstalk is told in this OprogrammaticO bebop blues while, at the same time, paying tribue to a number of jazz OGiants.O The melody has similarities to Charlie Parker's 'now's the Time,' the rhythm at the beginning of the shout chorus is comparable to Brubeck's 'Take Five,' & the chord progression in the middle of the shout chorus, leading into the section where the Giant is chasing Jack, is originally from Coltrane's OGiant Steps.O Recorded by OThe Hard-Bop Saxophone QuartetO on ODonOt Step On Your NeckO on Sea Breeze.
