Charlie, Just wanted to let you know that some of these 'jazzy' chord voicings had to be 'altered slightly' to accomodate arranger keyboard type chord recognition. A more commonly recognized "Bill Evans" type jazz keyboard voicing for the first set: Cm79, Dbm79, Dm79, etc... includes the 5th of the chord as well. For Cm79, the notes (from left the right) would include: Eb-G-Bb-D. The reason the note G (the 5th of the chord) had to be eliminated (for arranger keyboard recognition purposes) is because the notes Eb-G-Bb-D ALREADY represent a MORE commonly reconginzed 'root' position chord: EbMaj7. Hope you have FUN exploring these chord voicings.
