RE: Got it all worked out then?
Not familiar with that song. Sorry. Any topic seems better than no one talking here though. Forum seemed pretty dead lately.
As far as jazz chords, as I understand it (and I ain't claiming any practical expertise here), they're using a lot of the same types of movements as pop, blues, etc., just with alterations and extensions (9ths, 11ths) and getting a little more sophisticated with voice leading. And doing a lot of modal soloing. I've seen quite a few jazz acts doing extended 12 bar blues workouts. Of course, other acts seen to completely throw out the rulebook.
