I know one of those songs, but as often, I think I recognize it from a cover version.merlyn wrote: ↑Thu Sep 15, 2022 10:57 amDo you not think the sixties produced some of the most accessible jazz? The sixties is when bossa nova, as discussed above, came into jazz. The Girl From Ipanema, Song For My Father and Here's That Rainy Day have a bossa (Brazilian) beat. The rest of these tracks have that sixties jazz feel.bhilmers wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 7:19 pmI'm not suggesting that Giant Steps did anything to Jazz, rather it is a popular example of Jazz in that era versus Jazz in the early years. My point isn't that Coltrane made the change happen, but rather he was riding the wave of change.merlyn wrote: ↑Tue Sep 13, 2022 11:35 amGiant Steps was important, but I don't think it blew jazz to pieces, as you're suggesting.
1962 Herbie Hancock -- Watermelon Man
1962 Getz/Gilberto -- The Girl From Ipanema
1963 Lee Morgan -- The Sidewinder
1964 Herbie Hancock -- Canteloupe Island
1964 Horace Silver -- Song For My Father
1965 Wes Montgomery -- Here's That Rainy Day
1965 Ramsay Lewis -- The 'In' Crowd
1966 Cannonball Adderly -- Mercy, Mercy, Mercy!
So in that sense Giant Steps was a bit of an anomaly.
Canteloupe Island
In my mp3 playlist , there is DONALD BYRD - CANTALOUPE ISLAND

In my head though is different version. Slightly faster and I am pretty sure somebody sings / shouts delidi bom over it.
Found it:
US3 - Cantaloop

Been wondering for a while were they stole it, and now I know.
Probably just a speed up sample with some rap over it.
