In the process, you have created a straw man argument. ) His point is they didn't like to comp "G7sus" chords on G7)Ĭhristain, you seem to have misunderstood what Levine has written. (Levine is not even saying all prebop musicians. Dissonance is not a pejorative term it's a musical device you can use when appropriate.Īs with the "avoid" note on the I chord, most pre-bop jazz musicians played the 4th on a dominant 7th chord strictly as a passing note.". Remember not to think of dissonance as bad. You might specifically want to play something dissonant, or you might want to play the 11th and then resolve it down a half step to the 3rd, as in the example from "Stella By Starlight". You'll hear it only of you hold C against a G7 chord. Again, if you play C as a passing tone, you'll hardly notice any dissonance. "Play C with your right hand while playing G7 with your left hand, as shown in 3-19. Charlie Christian would not play an Eb7sus b9 voicing and that is what Levine is explaining. C Bb Ab E Db over an Eb7 is not the same as playing a Eb7sus chord let alone an Eb7sus b9 chord.
