so I heard an arrangement of Stolen Moments by Oliver Nelson of course, other night.
over the G in the melody (c minor)
at the end of the head….
suddenly, over (under, rather) a sustaining G…
they played
EbM7,
GbM 7 (OVER a G…)
then EM, also over a g, with NO 7th, major or minor.
I LOVE such shit, but, I am curious….
was there any logic to that, or did they JUST SOUND COOL, or did they just sound “DIFFERENT” AND DIFFERENT IS GOOD when you are playing a jazz standard that has been played many times and you can get sick of it…

regardless, love such things, I.
