For all the freeloaders out there. Here is a sax quartet (aatb) I wrote based on that song you hear all the time on the radio by someone named Enur. There is no escaping this tune unfortunately, but this quartet version is kind of fun. I added a little here and there. I've included the mp3 for your listening pleasure as well. It's how it would sound if you all played computerized saxophones.

Music as Art - Giant Steps

Music and art are beautifully intertwined in this visual presentation of a tune by tenor saxophonist John Coltrane a.k.a. "Trane." One of his major contributions to jazz was his invention of the chord progression in the composition you'll hear here entitled "Giant Steps." Take a look at this link, hopefully it will inspire you to create something artistic to go along with something you've heard. Music is art, and the two can drive one another.
