I am looking to buy a used Musser M55.

I am a month late. But, better late than never. Here is a list of harmonic options over the blues. This was compiled by my instructor, Bert Ligon. A lot of this stuff was discussed by Tony last month, but it might help to see it all in one…

打開PDF，在PDF 中，用到的是F調，我們取5音（C）當作是我們最高音聲部。
整首的和聲配置都會保持高音聲部在C，其他和聲配置的音，也都會照著這個規則去建造。
有一個地方例外，第六小節，B diminished，其實如果很想要照著規則走，也可以把第六小節改成Bb7，…
This is video, audio and a pdf all with etudes for the tune Turn Out The Stars by Bill Evans.
