Clever idea, Lawrie! But 3625? Wouldn't that normally be 1625?


Thanks Sam. If it was 1625 it would seem to resolve as you started the next iteration when you're trying to delay the resolution 'cos that indicates the end of the song.

Hence the 3625 3625 3625 1



Rather than the 3 then, I would use the 4 and make the last 5 a 57th but I understand now why you would not want a 1 at the start of each bar. What do you think?



In a jazz context all the chords would be at least 7ths (I simply didn't see the need to specify) - unless they're 9ths or 11ths or 13ths etc. - which often aren't written as such 'cos the player is expected to add these alterations themselves as they feel necessary. Note I said "often" - there are times when they are specified.

Using a 4625 doesn't really work - the voice leading from the preceeding 5 is wrong amongst other things.

You're only paranoid if you're wrong!
