Some ideas on what to think about when comping underneath the melody.
Here's my arrangement or etude on Chega. Of course inspired by Gary Burton's untouchable version! None the less I thought inspired by his version it might be fun for us to give it a shot.
Pedaling? If it troubles anyone I can think about it but I more less just fluttered the pedal on every beat except for the obvious places.
Academic but still might be interesting to anyone studying Giant Steps.
Doc Chittum is a very loved faculty member at Uarts. He does a lecture each year where he ties Giant Steps all the way back to Mozart. The lecture is pretty amazing. This is a 4 part excerpt from the lecture. In the lecture he hands out music and shows this lineage that's really incredible!
Terry emailed me and ask me to post this comment he has:

Here's all the lessons and performances of Ed Saindon's tune 'Life's Blessings.
We spent the month of March studying Ed's tune and we had a blast. Check out all the comments. There's a lot of valuable information here.
