Giant Steps from Heartluggage by Klaus Gesing
My version of Giant Steps in which the only thing left unchanged is the main melody of the John Coltrane's famous composition. I added an introduction and an ending, tried to maintain the circularity of the original tune and the topic of the major third distance between tonal centres, employing a quite different harmonic and rhythmic approach.
