Anyone that doesnt want my opinion about their subs just need omit
my name from the mail. It seems like you are asking my opinion.
I played looked through your subs and I don't have time to write a complete
reply today but basically your subs suffer from the same problems that Franks
on Bluesette had.
You have some nice sounds, some interesting ideas, but they don't form
a coherent and convincing reharmonization primarily because the bass
line makes no sense.
Your discussion with frank on his last subs for bluesette make me think
that you too are being a bit too intellectual in your approach. You have
compelling intellectual reasons to believe that certain things will
work so you convince your ear of that.
Here is something to do.
Play the melody with your bass line (the bass notes of the chords you gave)
and tell me if it sounds good.
The bass line is one of the notes in the chords you have so if the
bass line doesnt sound good neither will the substitutions (in general).
