How chromatic are you?

Do clams count?

Any marine biologists here want to weigh in on this one?

Bill Evans wrote at piece called TTT (Twelve Tone Tune). If I played that straight, what chromatic rating would that earn?

Does the head or the genre of jazz effect how I'd rate myself?

Does this poll apply to players who use free improvisation as part of the song form or even as a genre?

If I'm playing an approach chord, and I'm inside those changes, do I consider that a high or low chromatic rating?

If I play a Herbie Nichols band on Tuesday, and play Dixieland Wednesday, should I average the two?

Does the use of a b13 on a dominant chord going to a major get me a higher rating?

Isn't this a little like going to a book reading and asking the author the percentage of adjectives he uses?

Sure, I understand, this poll is not for everybody.

It's all about connecting chord tones and extensions for me. Chromaticism (for me, half step movement of ANY concept) has ALWAYS played a huge role in getting around and in the development of my own language.


Here's a link to some of my compositions. ALL instruments and solos, done by myself. I went back and re-tracked ALL of my guitar parts on these within the past month with my new Carvin HH2! Hope ya dig!
