Karl,

I remember in my earlier days of music study a session where we
listened to jazz singers and how the very good ones would slightly
alter the pitch they were singing as chords changed underneath them.
For instance, often at the end of a song the singer (examples as I
recall were Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Torme and Judy Garland) would sustain
a note and as the chords change, the note would move from being the
tonic to a fifth or ninth, etc. You could hear the pitch (more like
feel it) change as the same note became a different element of the
chords. This might be another example for this question.

Bill
