ME:  Steve I just took a brief look at that sight.  Gave me  my morning 
LMAO.  Here's a paste:. "If there is more than one solo, it is  as likely as 
not that each soloist would get a different _chord  progression,_ 
(http://www.outsideshore.com/school/music/almanac/html/Music_Theory/Harmony/Chord_Progres

Geez, in the past when I gave a front line guy a different chord  
progression, I got really dirty looks.  Now I know I was just  following this 
author's guidelines.
 
Here's the line from the top of the page:
"The whole band often improvises simultaneously."
 
Oh, yeah, I've played when that happened also!  Truly  polyrhythmic!
