I'd like to retract this:

SO there's no such thing as an extension beyond a major 7th then

Yes, thanks Monk. I have cut and pasted it as a wordpad to ponder over a bit. I am really enjoying different smooth jazz chord flavours at the moment, especially major 7ths (I've always liked 9ths).
Just to clarify, when you have to drop notes, when playing an 11th or a 13th are you saying that the root is the first to go or the first to keep? Which notes are the ones you can drop that the ear still hears, even though you aren't playing them? (ie implied?).
It also occurred to me that since jazz uses extended chords, giving you more chord tones, it makes sense that chromatism goes with jazz.
