Monz, that doesn't work because you have the character "#" in the url. But I
can go there through

The 3rd one did not appear in my file (?)

Anyway, the second chord sounds totally different to me than the first
chord. I would expect 99% of jazz musicians to reject the second chord as a
G13#11 in this context of coming right after a 12-tET version of the same
chord. I humbly suggest you do two things: present each chord in an
appropriate "jazz" context, and post an alternate version based on the
tuning I proposed (though I notice you didn't include the 9th in yours (we
should ask Dan if he meant for there to be a 9th in the chord -- Dan?)).

I really love the way the chords "go flat" in these examples.
Well... of course, not "flat," just "in tune!"

I should be mentioned, though, that for some reason all of them don't
play "right off" when you start the file... only the first one for
me, and I tried it at two entirely different systems... one at "work"
and the other "home."

Well... there IS a way to get it to work... just click your mouse on
the timeline in various places and then, for some reason, it plays
the chords then. Otherwise it will not do it. Why?? I have no
idea...

Why, Joe, I'm sure that it's thanks to Bill Gates and his
wonderful Windows software! ... (he said, trying to emphasize
biting sarcasm as much as possible in email...)

All I can say is, again, it works fine for me. So I have
no idea what to fix... sorry. Glad you appreciated the
audio example, anyway. This is exactly what we need a
*lot* more of here, and it looks like we're finally getting it!
