    The first time I heard Giant Steps I was astonished, so I played it to my very young children on long car journeys so they would grow up to be hip, and possibly also hep, but certainly cats of some kind. After learning to read, the smallest child was equally astonished to learn that this song was performed by John Coltrane, and not Jungle Train as he had previously believed. Anyway, nice work

    Love the part where TJ is all ‘babidibabidibabidi’, and Abdi is killing it with those lines. Seabass holding it down, and you know it’s for real when he gets loosey goosey. Eric is great spreading butter on hot biscuits and claw-hammering out core chords and melodies
