Hal Leonard - John Coltrane: Giant Steps pour saxophone ténor (anglais)

Informations

Two weeks after adding his magic to the legendary album 'Kind of Blue' with the Miles Davis Quintet, John Coltrane stepped into the studio with his own quartet to make his fifth studio album and what would become one of the most influential albums of all time: 'Giant Steps'. The all-star line up included Wynton Kelly, Tommy Flanagan and Cedar Walton taking turns on piano; Paul Chambers on double bass; Art Taylor on the drums; and some guest appearances from Jimmy Cobb and Lex Humphries. Like 'Kind of Blue', the album is a giant slice of music history and managed to transcend and cross-pollinate genres in a way that Coltrane may never have predicted.

This book guides tenor saxophonists through every note of every piece recorded on 'Giant Steps'. Coltrane's themes and solos have been accurately scored for advanced musicians, making this forty-page book essential study material for students of jazz.
