Twenty-Third Chords Definition:

In jazz education, term invented by Charlie Banacos in the 1960’s for one of his many courses of music study for advanced musicians containing a series of methods and techniques to teach improvisation and composition in styles that came after the Be-Bop era. This method deals with improvising in 12-tone and serial techniques. Banacos uses these over traditional harmony or as an alternative.

Charlie Banacos, in an interview, once stated that because of the advanced nature of this method of playing, steps must be taken to avoid unmusical and mechanical playing and writing and so he uses these techniques in conjunction with special ear-training techniques geared to each individual’s development.
