This for my student, but it's for all. it's a VERY QUICK and dirty chord version of Fly Me To The Moon. Done in about 15 minutes. Good enough for what Frank needs, but you're welcome to check it out.

Etude over Giant Steps with some voicing ideas.
-Tyler
Chord Tone Soloing on Coltrane's Giant Steps. Some practice techniques and concepts include focusing on motives, soloing with chord tones while limiting the range to an octave and chord tone connection in which we go up and down the entire range of the instrument with 8th notes and go to the closest note in the new chord.
A few things to also think about: start a phrase in different places of the measure, avoid hitting beat 1 too much, use syncopated figures, connect from chord to chord (especially during a key change) with stepwise motion, use of motives.
This etude is deceptively SUPER hard!!! I think when we have chord melodies, we rely heavily on our knowledge of voicings, and that helps guide us through tunes.
But when you do something with two voices, it's almost like there's more to think about in some strange way. Anyway, try this etude to see whatI'm talking about :)
