145: Do You Really Need To Learn Giant Steps?

This week the boys ask the question; “Do we really need to learn Giant Steps?” John Coltrane’s seminal tune from the 1960 album of the same name. They take a closer look at what it is, why it’s so notoriously tricky, how they’ve all tackled it in the past, and what you may or may not gain from attempting this ultimate jazz Tough Mudder. This week in the Patreon aftershow there’s an extended followup on language/vocab, Giant Steps and Tom and Beebee accidentally jam GS over zoom, with the result being 90s dial-up modem nonsense. Plus on the Whiskey Hour, Jake goes shopping for drams and Dan is getting peat curious...
