A chord chart (or chart) is a form of musical notation that describes the basic harmonic and rhythmic information for a song or tune. It is the most common form of notation used by professional session musicians playing jazz or popular music. It is intended primarily for a rhythm section (usually consisting of piano, guitar, drums and bass).
The Rhythm changes is a common 32-bar jazz chord progression derived from George Gershwin's "I Got Rhythm". The progression is in AABA form , with each A section based on repetitions of the ubiquitous I–vi–ii–V sequence (or variants such as iii–vi–ii–V), and the B section using a circle of fifths sequence based on III 7 –VI 7 ...
In jazz chords and theory, most triads that appear in lead sheets or fake books can have sevenths added to them, using the performer's discretion and ear. [1] For example, if a tune is in the key of C, if there is a G chord, the chord-playing performer usually voices this chord as G 7 .
Analytic practice in Jazz recognizes four basic chord types, plus diminished seventh chords. The four basic chord types are major, minor, minor-major, and dominant. When written in a jazz chart, these chords may have alterations specified in parentheses after the chord symbol. An altered note is a note which is a deviation from the canonical ...
On the left, the rhythm section consists of drum set, keyboard/piano, electric guitar, and bass guitar. On the right are the horns. On the right are the horns. The trumpets are in the back row, with first trumpet sometimes doubling on piccolo trumpet , and second trumpet sometimes doubling on flugelhorn .
For example, in major-key harmony the 4th, and thus the 11th, is an avoid note and is therefore either treated as a passing tone or is augmented (raised a semitone). [4] Avoid notes are often a minor second (or a minor ninth) above a chord tone [ 5 ] or a perfect fourth above the root of the chord.
The bebop major scale is derived from the Ionian mode (major scale) and has a chromatic passing note added (a ♯ 5) between the 5th and 6th degrees of the major scale. . Adding the ♯ 5 note to the seven-note major scale allows the chord tones 1, 3, 5 and 6 (a major 6th chord) to land on on-beats when the scale is played sequen
Instead of extending the first section, one adaptation extends the third section. Here, the twelve-bar progression's last dominant, subdominant, and tonic chords (bars 9, 10, and 11–12, respectively) are doubled in length, becoming the sixteen-bar progression's 9th–10th, 11th–12th, and 13th–16th bars, [citation needed]
