Hi,

Dropback is Harmony with LEGO bricks terminology for the common jazz move where VI7 is used to get from I to II-7. A larger common brick is what I call the 7-chord Dropback in my book: II V I VI II V I. We find it useful to have short names for the common harmonic moves that occur in jazz standards.

If you want to know more, see my website http://www.dropback.co.uk where my book, Insights In Jazz is for sale in ebook form. It is also available from Jazzwise.com as a printed book.

We also have a discussion group for the method on Google Groups.

I hope this helps

John
