Chord thoughts

[CyrilleB]

I don't think anyone has said jazz tunes supposed to have 7th chords everywhere. But I do agree with you. Many jazz tunes (especially old ones) uses 6th chords instead of 7th chords. And yes, a D/C is not the same as a C13#11, etc. Removing one note in a chord changes its color. In some cases they can substituted, but not always.
iReal pro has a good chord library, but there are some important chords missing (I've posted a list a while ago). Yes, it would be good to have a C triad with a #4. Using with other bass notes (slashes), it could help creating many other chords

Acttually (& not to pick on anybody) the 1st post of this thread says:

"...if you are making chord charts for jazz musicians to interpret, the baseline assumption for ALL chords is that they are 7th chords, at least."

FWIW That’s the opinion of the member who posted it.
The only opinion that counts is that of the band leader who signs your check.
