Does Anyone Know Any Jazz Chords On Piano?

Q. On piano or keyboard can anyone tell me any jazz chords because i think they sound awesome. Could you tell me what notes to put my fingers on please?

A. There's no real list of jazz chords per se, but 7th chords (7, min7, maj7, etc) are commonly used in jazz.

To play a 7th chord, play the first, third, and fifth note of the scale (major chord) and add a flatted 7th to it.

The formula for a basic 7th chord is 1 3 5 b7

C major scale = C(1) D(2) E(3) F(4) G(5) A(6) B(7)
So, to make a C7 chord, play C E G and Bb

Formula for a maj7 chord is 1 3 5 7
Formula for min7 chord is 1 b3 5 b7
Formula for maj(min7) chord is 1 b3 5 7

You can usually also substitute 9th and higher (11th, 13th, etc.) chords for most 7th chords (9th chords are 7th chords with the 9th attached)

C7 = C E G Bb / C9 = C E G Bb D
Cmaj7 = C E G B / Cmaj9 = C E G B D
Cmin7 = C Eb G Bb / Cmin9 = C Eb G Bb
Cmin(maj7) = C Eb G B / Cmin(maj9) = C Eb G B D

The are so many other chord types out there though, so don't just rely on these!

Original Question

how to play jazz piano chords?
Q. I want to learn how to play jazz piano chords?

A. If you know how to play piano chords well, jazz chords are an easy transition. Jazz chords are basic chord structures that have slight changes to alter the sound. For example, take a C7 Major chord. Now instead of playing a B, play a Bb. You're now playing a regular C7...a dominant chord that's very common in jazz. Other common changes are C9 or a D on top....C,b5 or playing a Gb instead of G...the list goes on. There are many books to help you with this process. Go to the local music shop or look online. My favorite site for this is wwbw.com.

A. Mark Levine's book Jazz Piano is the only place where all of the way modern jazz chords are voiced is explained. I don't think you could ever right them down in one big picture, there are too many.

It is better to understand them the way Levine breaks it down, for example, two handed chord voicings in fourths, voicings based on upper partials, etc.
