The challenge is to play 'Giant Steps' by Coltrane on harmonica. Any harmonica can be used, i just want to see what people come up with (could be interesting).
The challenges lie within the progression, and the speed.
This video gives you a rough idea of the progression and the music.
When I saw Jazz chromatic harp legend Toots Thielemans back in 1978 at Hopper's Cafe in NYC backed by former members of the Chuck Mangione band, he did that tune doing the first 5 choruses on chromatic harp, then the next 5 on guitar (playing a stylistic cross between Al Casey and Django Reinhardt), and the last 5 choruses he whistled with chops that could make a horn player jealous. That tune is a bitch because of those changes. ---------- Sincerely, Barbeque Bob Maglinte Boston, MA http://www.barbequebob.com CD available at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/bbmaglinte
