 20 ways to comp...why?? After reading the 20 ways to comp article on this website I was lost, mostly. But thats ok for now, what my real question is why so many ways to comp? why would you need to substitute all these chords? why not play the song the way it was written? Just a noobie questioning     |

| Because when you comp behind a soloist that is improvising, you have to adjust your accompaniment to the soloist's improvisation, rather than playing the same thing, over and over again, every chorus. I think if you take even one jazz recording - not even the whole album - and listen to the comping on the recording, your question will be answered.
