4 Simple Chords with Jazzy Harmonies :|: Active Melody Challenge

September 2024 Active Melody Site Member Challenge Response #83
The challenge was to "do something" with a very specific set of chords, either Am Dm G E or Am Dm G C. I picked the latter and was quite uninspired until I added the 7ths to the chords and the sound of those inspired me to come up with a #bossanova style rhythm. As always, thank you for watching!
