Well, as replies go, that was a nebulous as corncrake sightings on Colonsay.

That said I liked the list of songs where they are written in not 2, not 3, not 4, but 5, 6, 7, 8...etc. and so on up to such things as 22/4, which I would eschew.

Once we get to 50 on the list we can present it with a petition!
Take 5 is #1, it's weird, and Brubeck himself just had a birthday, I think it was 91!

1. Take 5/Brubeck...but I forget the sigs, though it may never need more than 4 chords per measure.



Sorry if I wasn't being clear but it's not that difficult a concept. Having the ability to make a chord sound as an eighth note makes it easier to write your own accompaniment patterns/riffs on the fly.

Often modern jazz players will at times play short chordal riffs made up of 8th notes in their comping patterns. I want to be able to replicate that on the chord sheet. Hope that's clear enough for you.

I'm sick and tired of people in this forum disrespecting others because they make suggestions for improvements that don't happen to fit in with their musical aims.
