Jazzy Chord Progressions in C Major
Built on the ii-V-I. The sevenths are not decoration here, they are the point.
Every chord below is written out in C major with its roman numeral, so you can transpose it to any other key yourself. These are the same templates the free generator uses.

Questions What key are these in? All four progressions are in C major. Every chord is diatonic to that key, apart from the deliberately borrowed flat chords in the darker moods. Can I use these in a song I sell? Yes. Chord progressions are not protected by copyright — only a specific recording or written arrangement is. Nobody owns i–VI–III–VII. How do I get these into my DAW? Open the free generator, pick C and Jazzy, then export the .mid and drag it onto a track in Ableton, FL Studio, Logic, Reaper or Bitwig.
