Giant Steps


Stephen Colbert has a bit that he stole from Vanity Fair magazine, who in turn stole from Proust. The "Proust Questionnaire" retains its provenance in Vanity Fair magazine, which also uses much the same questions. "The Colbert Questionnaire" uses questions that are fewer and cheekier. 

One of Colbert's questions is, "if you had to pick one song to be the only song that you could listen to for the rest of your life, what would it be?" 

This is my song. The version of Giant Steps that appears on the 'Trane LP of the same title. 

It contains twenty-six chords! That should be enough to keep anyone busy for a lifetime.
