The video was posted without much context on an open forum so I think it’s to be expected that others will chime in with their own reaction to it.
From a theory standpoint it all works. From a technique standpoint it also works. To my ears it’s devoid of the musicality and expression I look for when I listen to jazz.
Oh, I was expecting this response, but I did find it funny that it went the same route as the Chappers knife thread and the Yngwie mutton chops thread.
The thing with Giant Steps, 26-2, Countdown, and the other tunes which incorporate three or four tonic systems is they are just seen as a flex.
Great tunes to learn and play, but it gets to certain point where it’s just seen as a vehicle to show how hip your lines are and how fast you can play over it.
I’ve always thought the tunes on Coltrane’s Sound is a much better record at showing his approach to harmony much more than the album Giant Steps.
Not everyone shares your opinion, I stress 'opinion', no matter how qualified you consider it to be.

Zero Music although I'm sure the player knows an Arpeggio or two.
Angry old man shouts at things he doesn't understand.
If I wanted to listen to music I wouldn't choose that sort of thing though.
