Following up on recent posts about diatonic transpositon of melodies, i decided to take things a little further and apply this process to a denser melody. as of late, i&#8217;ve been putting a lot of time into shedding music from Coltrane&#8217;s middle period. on songs like &#8220;Giant Steps&#8221;, &#8220;Countdown&#8221; and &#8220;26-2&#8243;, Coltrane took his harmonic, [...]]]></description>
