Dude, the answer is obvious!.
You need to come up with YOUR OWN voicings! Be creative!. Interchange 5 note voicings with 2 note voicings!. Toss in some voicing with no root!. Add some that are only 7ths!. Go nuts! Jazz isn't about what books have to say, jazz is about what YOU have to say!. Remember Thelonius Monk!!! Be you!!!Www@Enter-QA@Com
