<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Regarding &quot;diminished chords&quot; <i>per se</i>, I don't see how either Bunk or George Lewis could have been &quot;opposed&quot; to them, or their use.&nbsp; I suspect the passage about them to which Mr. Gates alludes must have been taken
 out of context when he saw it or heard about it. <br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Anyway, the famous--even iconic--introduction to
<b><i>Dippermouth Blues</i></b>--recorded first by <b>King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band</b> (and later by his<b> Dixie Syncopators
</b>as <i></i><b><i>Sugar Foot Stomp)</i></b> is two full bars of a diminished chord.&nbsp; I also recall
<i></i><b><i>Climax Rag </i></b>employs a diminished arpeggio in its first strain.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Now that I'm really thinking about it, I recall that one of my all-time favorite recordings,
<i></i><b><i>Tip Easy Blues</i></b> by the <b>Jones-Collins Astoria Hot Eight</b>--contains yet another diminished arpeggio, played by trumpeter Lee Collins at the end of his beautiful solo.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">So, it would seem that diminished chords abound in traditional jazz! (What will they think of next?)</p>

Hello Ken,<br>
<br>
China Boy , copyrighted in 1922 has plain use of the diminished chord.<br>
A series of diminished chords, you will find in Airmail Special, the bridge. Of course that is not very early jazz, but it is a wellknown example.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
Bert<br>

<br>
Can't answer the original question about very early jazz musicians, but I love dim7 chords so I'll take a moment to talk about them. ;-)<br>
<br>
Very common in 1920s and 30s music -- I'd say more so in tunes borrowed from Tin Pan Alley and show/popular music than original jazz tunes.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Usage is most often chromatic movement, often toward or away from a dom7 chord. A dim7 chord is identical to the dom7 chord a half step lower, except for the root. For instance, the upper 3 notes of a cdim7 chord are the same as a C#7 chord.<br>
<br>
It also accommodates chromatic movement of the melody or &quot;blue notes&quot; when the melody sits on the 3rd or 5th of a chord.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
An interesting side note: 4-stringed instruments (tenor/plec banjo, uke, mando, etc.), typically play dim7 chords in place of b9 (dominant flat nine) chords, but a 3rd up. The reason why: for most fretted strings, you usually modify a dom7 chord to create upper
 extensions. Easiest way for a b9 or 9 chord is to move the root up because that's much easier in most cases (shape-wise) than throwing away the 5th.<br>
<br>
So for b9, you shift the root up a 1/2 step. So if you extend a C7 to a C7b9, that changes the C7
<br>
From: C&nbsp; E&nbsp; G&nbsp; Bb<br>
To: Db&nbsp; E&nbsp; G&nbsp; Bb (inverted, E&nbsp; G&nbsp; Bb&nbsp; Db)<br>
<br>
Or in other words, your C7 becomes an Edim7 chord. On a piano, it's inverted -- but on a 4-string fretted instrument, you can't worry much about inversions since you're constrained by string order.<br>

No, not a typo - a band name: The Batchelors of Jazz.&nbsp; I wonder how many<br>
listmates remember it.&nbsp; At least one should, as he was the bands regular<br>

Bob Ringwald told us to---------<br>
<br>
&nbsp;Listen to the 13th and 14th measure of &quot;Squeeze Me.&quot;&nbsp; It is a descending<br>
series of diminished chords.<br>
------------------------------------------------------------<br>
---------------------------------------------------<br>
Thanks to Bob Ringwald.&nbsp; Looking at my copy of chords in the American Music<br>
Caravan compact book<br>
of chords,&nbsp; they show&nbsp; those two measures as&nbsp; ten consecutive dim7 chords<br>
starting with Bdim7 going<br>
down to Ddim7.&nbsp; Then the two ending measures (15th and 16th) of the 16 bar<br>
chorus in the key of F<br>
are a conventional&nbsp; G7///&nbsp; C7/F/.<br>
<br>
Wow----ten consecutive dim7 chords!!!!!!<br>
<br>
