Jamey Aebersold Jazz, Volume 75: Countdown to Giant Steps [Alf:24-V75DS]

This could have been titled "Baby Steps to Giant Steps." Finally, there is a "steps" method of learning not only Giant Steps and Countdown, but also how to substitute those elusive chord changes for "standard" chord changes in well-known standards. The second CD breaks down the Giant Steps cycle into simple segments at comfortable tempos. Also included are several well-known standards with Giant Steps harmony substituted for the traditional harmony! This is the best way to learn Giant Steps harmony! Rhythm Section: Andy LaVerne (p); John Patitucci (b); Steve Davis (d). Titles: Countdown * Giant Steps * Satellite * 26-2 * Body and Soul * Exotica * Central Park West * Fifth House * Night Has a Thousand Eyes * Step by Step * But Not for Me * Plus a second CD of 17 "primer" tracks!
