Reminds me ‘the unexamined life is not worth living’ ‘how do you know? Have you examined the matter?’

I think cadences should have at least one quality... they mark the watersheds of form.. they can be harder and softer... more determined and more loose... Interrupted, posponed, fugitive etc.
Each cadence has its own semantics in language and composers used it...
I mean the most important differnce between is how the are ended - on root or on dominant or on VIth or whatever else.
The seconf important thing is how they are approached...
like V-I and VII - I for example and different suspension and all it adds a character to one of the main cadences, makes it more subtle in the context
Besides... not every V-I is a cadence
But jazz cadences are less about semantics and more about just colours for the same classical types of cadences basically...
and in standards they are at the end of the choruses and in the end of the bridge... and usually there are no revelations about how they are used...
Looks like what is called a cadence in this thread is just a V-I turnaround and its subs or other turnarouds to I how we distinguish them depends much on personal hearing and context... if they are subds for V-I or something on their own.. how you hear it is how you use it.
but they are not really - or not necessarily - a cadence...

So, the question is not does it work. Established is that it does. Why it works, is the question.
If it's because of some sense of resolution, than it's likely some form of V -I.
Further, IMO, looking at music, Jazz, learning* to play it as something that is "resolving from ... somewhere ... to ... anywhere ...", dominant to tonic, is shortcut to dull, pointless and meaningless ... unlistenable. It is not what I hear when I listen to the music I like.
*It can be learning tool, to get some things under fingers, but music should not be composed and played that way.

Therefore in Julian's example the C#maj9 could be thought of as a sub for G7, which is being subbed for Dmin7. C#9 is a tritone sub for G7. If you look at the difference between C#9 and C#maj9 there is only one note different. The b7 in C9 is moved up to a maj7 interval in the C#maj7 chord. You can look at it this way, chords only have 3 or 4 notes that's it. So if you have two chords with three notes the same and only one note different then those chords are similar/hugely related in some way. Therefore those chords can sub for each other becasue they are closely related sonically in some way. In other words they have much more in common then they have different from each other so they'll work as chord subs for one another. Furthermore that maj7th interval in the C#maj9 chord is actually a tone that is in the ii chord in the key C. So all of the notes in C#maj9 are either in C#9, the tritone sub of G7, or in Dmin7. Of course there are other ways to examine this chord move but this is certainly one explanation.
"Blah blah blah one" lol. I really like that quote from Julian becasue it sounds funny but it's true in a way. As long as you arrive at that nice consonance on one, whatever comes before it during the cadence, can just be blah blah blah lol. Or is that just an excellent players funny way of expressing that there are so many options and ways of putting them all together to arrive at one?Last edited by Bobalou; 04-22-2018 at 05:02 PM.
