    btw, when playing a dominant 7th chord, the 5th degree is the note least needed and can easily be omitted. The 3rd degree is kinda important as it will determine if it is major or minor chord. All one needs is that root note down below and a 3rd and minor 7th note above for the basic sound - minimalism at its finest."

Actually, it looks jazzmen are gone far beyond that. Herbie Hancock explained that he stopped playing 3rd and 7th with Miles, and that it unlock new territories to him __
These jazzmen ...
