A "harmronic field" names a chord quality for every degree of a scale. I think the following chord typess sound good together and are most of what you need to get Gypsy Jazz harmony, on top of regular jazz cadential progrressions in the root. I'm also presenting four note guitar voicings for each, which are a common feature of the genre.
A.m6 - 5x455x
B.dim7 - 7x979x
C.6add9 - x3223x
D.m6 - x5x767 or x5x465
E.m6 - 0x202x or x7x989
F.6add9 - x8778x or 1x001x or xx3233
G.9 - 3x323x
C.m6add9(no 5) - x3123x
...
Lol, holy crow, these chords are wrong and bad. One doesn't even have the right number of strings. To do: fix dis.

Probably better. That is, I think my chords are notated correctly now. But the C.6add9 doesn't sound very gypsy-jazzy to my ear. More bossa nova. So I should figure out what that should be instead. Progress though.
