The interesting thing about "jazz" chordings are that you basically run 6 out of 7 notes in a scale in just about every chord.Fannon wrote: Fri Aug 02, 2024 3:29 pm The function in the context of the overall chord progression is the real interesting thing to find out.
It's the "missing note" that tells the "context". It's a soup of notes, kind of.
I often heard Matt Johnson mention "it just works".
When you hear a clean major or minor chord in "jazz" then it really pops out.
But more into pop, rock and blues and melodies, really. 7ths and 9ths is my limit.
