The main chord pattern for this is an old idea from 2015, but like most of my passing ideas, I didn't really know what to do with it so it has just been sitting there. I've floated past it every now and then when I've scanned the vault for WB ideas, but this week it had a little more ear glue than usual.
When I studied music at TAFE many years ago, I remember one of the lecturers talking about an approach to accompaniment having 'passing notes' or something, where you play notes that bridge across key changes or non-diatonic chord patterns typically found in jazz. My music theory knowledge isn't great and my knowledge of jazz is essentially non-existent, so I have no technical way of making such a concept happen, but the idea sounded cool and it stuck with me, so going by ear alone, I attempted to use this pattern as a basis to build such an approach, and also as an attempt to be less rigid to the beat with lead ideas and let it float a bit more.
I am sure jazz purists could point out all that is 'not jazz' about this, but eh, I don't know jazz, so it is what it is. Jaiz? :/
