Re: Chord Function?

I would be honored to "follow" Tony around.  One thing we do here in the 
jazz world is give due respect to musicians who are at the top of their 
craft; it's part of The Tradition.  When Tony talks about beer, tits, or 
shellfish, we're on equal footing, but when Tony talks about music:  I
shut 
up and listen.

Most of us would be lucky to do one gig in our lifetime with the caliber
of 
musicians Tony's been repeatedly gigging with (and hired by) since he was 
too young to vote.

I think you're missing the point by taking things too literally or out of 
context, which is fine if you're more interested in debate than in music. 
What we've all been trying to convey to you is that in jazz, "theory" is a

different tool for a different job.  I've seen about multiple meanings for

the word "theory" during the course of this business.  Is it more
im****tant 
to you to be authoritative about the definition of the word "theory," or
to 
learn something about a jazz from a master craftsman?
