Subject: RE: Is Trad Jazz part of the Folk Scene
Those are just chords, Buddy--used in jazz on ocassion, certainly, but they don't come from jazz, and they don't define jazz--all the complex harmonic mechanisms were developed and used in composed music first. And, as has been pointed out, a lot of people only like the kinds of jazz that don't use them.
