I'm working on Bill Evan's "Very early" right now. A beautiful tune
but hard to play because of the changes : harmonically, Giant steps
was easier to me (if you leave the tempo out. The hard thing to do is
to make something musical : Studying the progression, finding common
notes between chords, and listening to the tune 100 times to get it in
my head are things that are necessary for me to do in order to be
playing through hard changes like this. It's very rewarding to be
stuck on something and get through it,
Are there any other challenging tunes that I should know?

Check out - Moments Notice, Countdown, 26-2 by Coltrane.
Stablemates, Along Came Betty by Benny Golson. Falling Grace, Con
Alma, Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum, etc... There's plenty more
