Показать описание

This is our Candombe version of Giant Steps.

"Giant Steps" is a jazz composition by American saxophonist John Coltrane.
It was first recorded in 1959 and released on the 1960 album Giant Steps.
The composition features a cyclic chord pattern that has come to be known as Coltrane changes.

"Giant Steps" was composed and recorded during Coltrane's 1959 sessions for Atlantic Records, his first for the label. The original recording features Coltrane on tenor saxophone, Paul Chambers on double bass, Tommy Flanagan on piano, and Art Taylor on drums. John Coltrane was known for coming into the studio with unrehearsed songs, and "Giant Steps" was no exception.
John Coltrane named "Giant Steps" after its bass line. He stated that "the bass line is kind of a loping one. It goes from minor thirds to fourths, kind of a lop-sided pattern in contrast to moving strictly in fourths or in half-steps. Wikipedia.

About Latin American Versions Collaborations Series:

Those of us who come from Latin countries are used to adapting our customs and traditions to other cultures, but it’s not very often that it happens the other way around. Musicians, for example, feel very comfortable arranging songs from the Latin American repertoire in styles such as jazz, rock and pop. There is nothing wrong with that. But what if we take “international” classics and cover them in Latin formats?

Latin American Versions is a weekly series of duets produced by the Argentine guitarist and composer Dario Acosta Teich in which Dario summons musicians from different parts of the world to transform jazz standards or international classics into Latin American versions. The goal of the series is to shine a contemporary light on the wealth of traditional rhythms from all over Latin America via platforms on which they be heard by broader audiences.

Quienes venimos de países latinos, estamos acostumbrados a adaptar nuestras costumbres y tradiciones a otras culturas, pero no muy frecuentemente vemos que que suceda al revés. Los músicos, por ejemplo, nos sentimos muy cómodos arreglando canciones del repertorio Latinoamericano en estilos como el jazz, rock y pop. No hay nada malo en eso. Pero qué pasa si tomamos clásicos “internacionales” y los versionamos en formatos latinos?

Latin American Versions es una serie semanal de dúos producida por el guitarrista y compositor argentino Dario Acosta Teich en la cual Dario convoca a músicos de distintas partes del mundo para transformar standards de jazz o clasicos internacionales en versiones Latinoamericanas.
