I have posted this in the bar but it was suggested that I move it to here so here it is.

Ok I now play piano but I am thinking of moving back into playing arrangers and I have what might be a subjective question.

I come from a self taught background of arranger playing where you plonk down 3 4 or a 5note chord with the left hand and then only move your hand when the chord changes I know that this is the easy way to play and I am now interested in how do you play your arranger.

Do you program the left hand chords then play lh and ph parts over the top. Do you inprov a bass part etc.

many thanks
