Description: Swing - Difficult

Publisher: Walrus Music Publishing

SATB, improv in alto & soprano. The entire story of Jack & the Beanstalk is told in this programmatic bebop blues while paying tribue to a number of jazz Giants. The melody has similarities to Charlie Parker's 'Now's the Time,' the rhythm at the beginning of the shout chorus is comparable to Brubeck's 'Take Five,' and the chord progression in the middle of the shout chorus, leading into the section where the Giant is chasing Jack, is originally from Coltrane's Giant Steps.
