I believe you're being unfair. Extending the chords is fair and so is voicing them to be close to each other. Neither of those count as "changing" the chords and the musicians in the audience knew this.
- prvc 7y agoAdding 7ths and 9ths certainly is changing the harmony, as is changing a diminished to a half-diminished chord (which also changes its function), so that element of the criticism is true and warranted. As for "fair", I think having one's (many people's!) time wasted by baiting them with a false promise, only to present them with something likely to produce confusion and frustration, is unfair.
