In this series of videos I cover jazz piano voicings. I'll go through a number of different voicings which will make any jazz song sound strong and professional.
This Jazz Piano Tutorial is about Thelonious Monk style voicings that have a bit of 'bite'. They have a semitone interval at the bottom of the chord which makes them a bit dissonant with a 3rd on top.
In short the Thelonious Monk Chord voicings are:
Tonic: 7th, 1st, 3rd (B, C, E in the key of C Major)
Every other chord in the key: 3rd, 4th, 6th of the key (E, F, A in the key of C Major)
Dominant chords can be altered to give a bit more bite as follows:
C7 = C, Db, E or D#, E, G or F#, G, Bb or A, Bb, Db
