That's a Big Step For You, Punk is an extensive reharmonization of 'Stella By Starlight'. The form is still very present; the actual melody is quoted only briefly at the end. It's meant to be played with a relaxed 16th-note funk feel, reminiscent of Miles Davis' 1980's sound. There is a variety of advanced harmonies, including suspended-13th, half-diminished-11th, and diminished-major 7th sounds, which will provide a challenge for the soloist. Time signature changes, metric modulation (four against three), and displacement are used as well. Except for the last section, most of the ensemble is concerted, and the bass part is voiced in with many of the lines. Written for five guitars plus bass and drums.
