-
The Vic Juris Modern Chords book is worth the price just for the "BIG FIVE" on page 19. The rest is all a gift. Incidently, it's taken me a week plus to get that first Cmaj7 chord on page 19 to feel natural. The book definately requires real work.

Django..my bet is with most musicians the key of C is most recognizable. Thats why he chose that progression
-
although i'm not sure why he picked that certain voicing, the cool thing is that you can take any chord or a combination on notes, or extentions, or even enigmatic concepts, and run it up or down the scale (or a variety of scales). i had a pleasure of studying with vic a few years ago. this approaches allows you to generate 100's of voicings/chords effortlessly!

I did all of this years ago and it really does help open up the scale in your mind intervallically.
-
Very cool voicings. Unfortunately, he never actually uses them in context in this video.

some of those chords are huuuge stretchs
I wouldn't be too sure. Most great players are life-long students. Coltrane practiced out of Slonimsky's book his whole life. I've seen Bill Frisell and other greats taking in John Stowell's Clinics, with wide eyes and ears. In my opinion, part of being great is soaking up knowledge from everybody.
