SK Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Well one thing is for sure..you will never hear a disco version of this tune....8) That sounds a little like a challenge. It would be in such exquisitely bad taste that it's almost appealing. Like this right? --Dave Now imagining that same tempo with the Village People singing Giant Steps. "Macho Macho Steps."

MonksDream Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 The only upside to vocalists writing (usually horrble) lyrics to jazz heads is that it keeps them from scatting for at least a chorus or 2. One must be thankful for the little things. Brilliant LOL! Instrumentation is meaningless - a song either stands on its own merit, or it requires bells and whistles to cover its lack of adequacy, much less quality. - kanker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonksDream Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I absolutely adore the Roland Kirk version, but - aren't the lyrics the same? I'm not sure, and I don't have the album anymore. BW the intro with the celesta is priceless! Nope, they're different. I have it on vinyl and as I remember it starts: "Life when we were kids/ Was like playing Giant Steps". I'll happily transcribe Rahsaan's lyrics if any are interested. Any excuse to pull out the vinyl and listen to it again. Well, on my Real Vocal Book, it starts *exactly* like that! Then there's the "think of life as chess.." thing, etc. I stand corrected! I don't have a vocal Real Book to compare it to. I'll pull out and give it a listen and report back.
