There are a lot of pianists switches from #9 to b9 and add b5, or even play tri-tone sub. Don't get me wrong. I am all for freedom. I hire piano, guitar, and vib players by their comping creativity. It is the biggest part of the deal how they voice for me. In that, I don't write poly chord except the ending chord. A lot of my favorite musicians likes to noodle on the ending chord which I am not too crazy about. On the other hand, when I write big band chart, most of comping are written in poly chord because this is the only way to make sure they don't crash with horn voicing. >Generally if I want exact voicings, I >write out the voicing, Ur, around here, if you want to play with grooving doods, they don't read notes that quickly :-) -- - Hiro Hiroaki Honshuku, A-NO-NE Music, Boston, MA <http://a-no-ne.com> <http://anonemusic.com> _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list Finale@shsu.edu http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
