Forum Topic: minor 11 chords moving in 5ths

I would like to hear some insights into playing over minor 11 chords where the progression moves by a 5th. (Em11 > Bm11 > F#m11 > C#m11 > Abm11 > Ebm11 > Bbm11 > Fm11)

How would or do you get your head around this pattern?

Also your thoughts on voicings for this chord type would be appreciated for comping and soloing. Those changes are from One of the tunes I'm working on: Joe Lockes' Tarzani.

Body and Soul by Philippe Briand

Hi everybody. It's been a long time, I know. I went into hibernation for a couple of months in order to study that book by Hal Galper, Forward Motion. I did some artwork (pastels, a real cool hobby)as well and so I lost touch with all of you guys. I'm really ashamed. Here is some Body and Soul I played yesterday, over a comping tape that my piano-player friend JB Mira made for me (bass and dms are Real Tracks). Here it is. I promise to come back on the site more regularly.
