MusicDevelopments • Chord Rules for Jazz?

$

Hi all!
Might be missing the obvious:
  • Didn't someone create Chord Rules for some typical progressions commonly used in Jazz?
Thinking about ii-V-I, of course (actually, ii7-V7-I∆7… along with iim7b5-V7alt) and other movement in fourths. Also tritone substitutions. And other substitutions. Straightforward stuff. Pulled together.
Shouldn’t be too hard. Might as well create my own. Just might avoid “reinventing the wheel” if others have worked on this (which sounds likely).

Recently got RapComp, after mulling it over for years. Sounds like it might have a large part of my dream featureset for Jazz-infused musicking. In fact, my other big purchase from the recent sales was a subscription to Open Studio (Jazz). There’s a complementarity, there. I’d like to apply through RC5 some of the lessons I’ll be learning through OSJ. A big part of it would be to build my “Jazz vocabulary” through performance on an isomorphic grid instrument (the Exquis, which uses hex keys) and to constitute my own phrase database within RapidComposer.

The Chord Rules could be part of that. Maybe a small part. (Half-diminished?) Still, it could help orient my RC5 instance towards Jazz-inspired music.

(As you might expect, I did ask gpt-4o to create Chord Rules which would fit my specs. Either my prompt wasn’t clear enough or the LLM doesn’t have enough data on Jazz harmony because the results were really far from Jazz.)
