Drop 2 Chords and chromatic approach ideas

Using passing chords like this is a useful way to create some movement and variation while comping. It is also good to know some techniques for adding chromatic passing chords to chord solos or harmonizing passing notes in chord melody arrangements.
The lesson will also serve as a good workout in internalizing and applying drop2 voicings to a Jazz Standard.
The lesson contains a set of exercises and a 2-chorus example on the song Take The A-train. In the exercises I am focusing on using the A-part to keep the amount of chords and exercises a bit more practical. The practical examples use the same techniques and are on the whole form.
