To understand what happens next, you must appreciate that “Giant Steps” isn’t merely Coltrane’s masterpiece it’s among the more difficult jazz standards to perform. Then they launch into John Coltrane’s “Giant Steps.” In the video of this show, shot at a Los Angeles venue in January 2020, you can barely see his face - it’s covered by a mop of child-in-a-Dutch-master’s-painting hair - but the keyboard player gives him the sort of smile you throw at a friend across the room at a party, a private-joke smile. He taps his sticks against the high-hat, a sprinter shaking it out before crouching down to wait for the sound of the starter pistol. And the first song we’re going to cover, she wrote when she was kind of like, minus two months before Jesus Christ? And it’s called ‘Giant Steps.’” Then, her blond hair catching the light and turning an electric purple, she speaks, in a thick French accent: “Thank you for coming to the Billie Eilish cover band.” More chuckles.

I decided to stray away from the chaotic ending of the track, and instead insert the ME main theme, to go with the 'Shepherd lives' scene.A small stage.

One of my favourite moments in all of video game history the ending of Mass Effect 3.
