thats only fair & I know nothing about playing Jazz but always willing to learn by example as long as its in the key of "C".

[This message has been edited by Dnj (edited 07-03-2008).]Donny, I was only pulling your chain. I wouldn't expect you to attempt a tune so completely out of your genre' (any more than I would take the time to learn a Beach Boys tune). However, thanks for putting up that link to one of the true legends of jazz piano. While there, I spotted another performance of Giant Steps by another of my favorites, Gonzalo Rubalcabo, who, along with trumpeter Reynaldo Melian, demonstrate what being a master musician is all about (and why few of us will ever reach that level, even with a lifetime of training).
Thanks for the offer though. BTW, I doubt if putting it in the key of 'C' would help much
