classic feel, Drew Zaremba has done just that with

n Giant StepsJohn Coltrane/arr. Mark Taylor.
Here's a fresh take on a traditional jazz standard.
The style is still up-tempo swing, and the saxes
maintain a fair share of the spotlight along with
ensemble hits and solo spots for drums; however,
there is a brief excursion into 5/4 and a few other
meter surprises that help give this outstanding chart
a contemporary edge. Highly recommended!

powerhouse effect. Solo space is included for tenor
