Jazz MIDI Chord Collection

Jazz is one of America´s greatest contributions to the art world.
It´s fusion of African rhythmic and melodic sensibilities, with the harmonic language of the West, produced an extremely nuanced and complex form of music.
Jazz harmony is a massive subject full of logic, subtlety, and emotion.
Almost every possible combination of notes has found a home in this genre.
From the most dissonant and dark sounds imaginable, to lush and shimmering displays of sophistication, jazz chords occupy the entire range of possibilities.

It is very rare to see any triads in jazz music. Normally, the closest you will find are 7th chords (maj7, m7, 7) and 6th chords (maj6, m6).
Extensions all the way up to the 13th are very common for major chords, minor chords, and dominant chords.

Modal chords, chromatic chords, and almost every other type of harmonic structure, are used all the time.
