Proper chord resolutions

[Mick-7]

Can I see the rest of the line?

Sounds like a delayed resolution from the note C (> B, etc.), works at fast speeds, but may not at slower ones.

I’ve played it a couple of times slow and to me it sounds like it resolves at the end of the next bar

Yes, it's just one note in a long phrase. But I think a list of rules re: how each chord tone resolves is musically irrelevant and in fact rather silly.

I've started playing my cliché 'Jazz Phrases' late, so that they delay the resolution.

I don't have an opinion about where it resolves. but I was thinking about Pat's statement that "I minorize everything". Looks to me like he was thinking Am against C7 (with adjusting the 6th and 7th) then to a quick Em arpeggio, ending in that B. Next note is C, and, from the look of the line, he's thinking Fm with adjustments. Then Bbm (although it might be thought of a Db sliding to C by somebody who doesn't minorize everything). If I did have an opinion about resolution I might think it's delayed until 215.

On the prior thread on modes, several had mentioned proper Chord resolutions. I have been trying to take the next step from the tonal center approach to soloing using JB's CAGED system with some chromatics thrown in but it sounds more like playing over the chords as opposed to through the chord changes.

Right, it won't sound like jazz unless you outline some of the changes. You don't need to outline ALL of the changes. Tonal center playing is used in jazz, but they should be balanced to taste. It's a good exercise to be able to play at least all the arps to all the changes. For a more comprehensive system you can include scales, and some intervals and chromatic devices.

My question is are there other resolutions that are common to certain jazz progressions...like a Tri-tone sub for example? Bebop resolutions?

Oh absolutely. To me, the absolute best way to see how to resolve phrases through changes is the Charlie Parker omnibook. It's obviously great to try to learn some of his playing but even just scanning the solos you can pick up the mechanics. You don't want to try to work up a big comprehensive list of resolutions, just learn the basic principle, although you can pick up specific ones if you want.

When you're phrasing in jazz you want to pick logical spots to end your phrase, usually stable chords, but you can pick unstable altered or passing chords too. Then you want to land on a chord tone of the current chord for the most logical resolution. The triad notes all yield logical very stable resolutions, yet will get you sounding jazzier than only resolving to the root, or worse just noodling. For more jazzy resolutions you can try resolving to the 7, 9, or 13. Occasionally the 4 is used.

I think in jazz they do not actually resolve. As no real tension is there.
of course it exists technically, but in classical it was a very important idiom. It was real tension and resolution ( not just musical but it was a part of contents). in pop and jazz it just exists traditionally but in reality … there is no tension and resolution as meaning.
So in modern layout I think I can mimic tension anywhere and resolve to any tone

^ Breh, of course there are resolutions in jazz, they're just more subtle and not perfect authentic cadence sounding. Read my post. Some are more definitive than others, but it's a rule that you don't want to make big obvious resolutions after every phrase. You want most to be subtle but they're still resolutions.
