Just had a private clinic with Jimmy at Atlanta Institute of music, and he went over this song then played it. Such a talented musician.

@GLeD101 nevermind what I said in the last part of the other comment....I was saying the exact same thing about dominant chords... :-P ha

[eyeheartchrist]

@GLeD101 oh ok....my teacher called it a Reversed Dim, but ya know, it's a great variation that fits with certain 7th chord progressions. :-)

[GLeD101]

@elkeism It's also useful to look at sounds as triads over bass because it opens new voicing possibilities. If you know that for a dominant sound in the key of C, you can play a Bb major triad assuming the bass player is playing something around G7, then you can use a lot of stuff around Bb that you may not otherwise consider playing over G7. There are tons of cool triad over bass sounds that you hear players use all the time.

[GLeD101]

@elkeism I agree that the second could be G7#9, it could also be Bdim maj7, just as the third chord is more likely to be seen as the E13#9 rather than the Bb because the E is in the bass. He's actually smart in calling it Bb/B because there are a number of possible interpretations and if he were to write G7#9/B or Bdim maj7 on a leadsheet, he may not get the sound he's looking for. If you write Bb/B you'll always get that sound regardless of how the player chooses to voice the chord.

[GLeD101]

@eyeheartchrist Half-whole diminished, which is often used by jazz players, especially over dominant chords.
