Post Walkdowns
I would like to hear about possibilities for walkdowns. Typically a walk down will be over a minor chord that lasts a bar or two. - e.g., for Cm, the walkdown would be Cm, Bb, Ab7, G7

What other walkdowns are there?

This is a brick that you will find defined in Conrad Cork's Harmony with LEGO Bricks. If you are interested in this approach to understanding jazz chord progressions and easily memorising jazz standards in a key-independent manner, then check out my new book at www.dropback.co.uk.

I meant to say that in LEGO terms this is called a Pasacaglia.
