I literally had to get out pencil and paper to work out the voicings for that one.... but only after I'd found a good hiding place ;)

I blame a mate who introduced me to playing swing... Wierd chords, voicings, multiple muted strings, the same shape with four or five different names depending on what key you're playing in (or what seems a close match after the third key change).

And now I'm trying to fathom out why the augmented 4th degree of a scale sounds so seriously discordant... I'm convinced there's a mathematical explanation for it.... Maybe I'll post it as a question to Zen Master S, the resident font of all knowledge
