| | | (just like ) alternating (between two) chords | Explanation:
Quote from the website http://www.pianofun.com:
"Jazz pianists have very special voicings for their chords and tend to favor alternating between first inversion and third inversion."
The dolmetsch link is interesting for music theory (it is long, but it does mention alternating chords for jazz) |
