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 .

Chas your very welcome indeed....I might not be a Jazz player or even a fantastic keyboard player at all, but I've made a good living most of my life from it doing it my way.....
I was always a person who absorbed from others especially when watching someone perform, this is what no one here understands....pro or not sharing music can always be a mind absorbing experience even its its just a minute little thing you can grasp from someones playing to incorporate into your own style....even if the music is not your genre....I was always a believer that there's good & bad in all music, how you perceive it with your mind is the key.... I might not know jazz to play but I certainly enjoy watching the greats do it for sure..... Have a wonderful Holiday!
