Mark you’ll find Bill Norrie here in the Technics section of Synthzone.

Because I started as a guitar player I know a lot about chords. I studied chord theory with Joe Monk; he had my interest on the first lesson when he took “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and turned it into a jazz tune. In my studies he had me add a chord change on every beat. I would not play the song that way, it was only a study. I learn that my chords had to tell a story; make a statement. Just strumming the chords was a no no.

We were playing in a club when I learned my next lesson. A female jazz singer was asked to sing a song with my band, Bass, Drums, Accordion, and my guitar. The singer asked the Accordion not to play. I asked why. Her reply: Accordion players normally voice their chords with the melody on the top giving me no freedom to sing what I am feeling.

The good news Mark is what I have is yours – no charge.
