EXAMPLE2 EMBELLISHED JAZZY CHORDS

We go uptown for the next five, beginning with a set of T-Bone Walker inspired b7-b9) rootless 9th chord voicings (3-5- through chords I9-IV9-V9. We expand upon these 9th voicings in 2b), illustrating how Wes Montgomery achieved Ab- this extended sound by juxtaposing drop-2 voicings of Fm6 (F- C-D) over Bb.

In 2c) we develop this further a la Joe Pass by connecting each voicing with a diminished 7th, implying a temporary V7-I in each case. The Kenny Burrell phrase in 2d) moves the big-band concept on and shows what can be achieved by moving the same shape in parallel (shifted to different string groups but maintaining the same intervallic relationship). We conclude here with a Bireli Lagrene idea that adds Altered tensions to each V7-I resolution.
