I used to write the chord on a piece of paper and then list all the possibilities. Next I'd go through and try to play the voicing in a few tunes. What are all the possibilities of this voicing?

It seems to me that 9/11 had a profound effect on the music business. I've never heard that talked about. As I remember it was after 9/11 that all the New York gigs fell apart. No one was going outside. All the clubs started doing the door…
