It's not as clear as it is in Countdown.<br /><br />The first seven bars could be seen as a variation of the change in B major.<br />The one I took from Giant Steps though is for example from bar 8 till 15. You play II-V's targeting major third relations of Eb until you land back on Eb in bar 15. The interesting part is that this happens ascending (Eb -> G -> B -> Eb) whereas the regular coltrane change as it's played in Countdown or the bridge of Have you Met Miss Jones you descend. So then it would be Eb -> B -> G -> Eb.Vayshenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00081525132852893537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071800524222567340.post-55280418300399127952014-01-16T04:22:44.695-08:002014-01-16T04:22:44.695-08:00Okay, you've gotten me intrigued.
