jazzy

Para dar un sonido más “jazzy” a la progresión el acorde A7 lo tocaremos con la quinta aumentada (A7♯5), y en lugar de acordes de séptima dominante, usaremos acordes de novena.

2015, Luis Ángel Rico Tejedor, Turbo Manual de Guitarra Eléctrica v2.0, Ociosu, page 150:

Y el título, más que el género, se refiere a un estado de ánimo: «Lo que me gusta del título es que jazzy quiere decir chispeante. Eso se ajusta al disco», afirma la ex conductora de TV.

2012 May 15, Jorge Letelier, “Andrea Tessa lanza disco con arreglos swing y una big band de 50 músicos”, in La Tercera:

Gracias a su estudio particular, Becker volvió discretamente a la actividad, con la producción de artistas de querencia jazzy como Michael Franks o Ricki Lee Jones.
