C69 G bass D7 b9 b5 - bobsax
I personally prefer a less dense approach to harmony. For me , it's all about the scales and a piano player playing (or trying to play) all the extensions just muddies up the sound.
All you need is root,7 and 3.
So long as the chord player doesn't play a natural 9 or 5 and the bass player knows the scale your using , imo, it sounds better
I suggest we all lobby for a 7 and 3 only style.
The beauty of the scale with no piano in the way

Thanks Bob..
Sometimes I try to think like Bill Evans.. I often only want the upper extended harmonies and no roots, 3rds or 5ths even with the bass player. I enjoy moments of destabilisation.![]()
