It's in one of the raps on Mingus. They (whoever "they" are) are singing Happy Birthday to Mingus. There's an argument about how old he really is. Someone's playing it on the piano. In the midst of the playing and singing, someone (most people think it's his wife Sue and it sounds like the same person who's arguing with him about his real age, so it's gotta be her) says, "Play that weird minor chord". I presume she's talking about playing a minor chord within their singing of Happy Birthday. (The chord you mention is very cool, by the way, and fits the description of weird.) >One chord that stands out would be the F7#9 > (the opening chord of > Goodbye Porkpie Hat, perhaps Mingus' most famous > chart), with both a major > third (in the F7) and a minor third (an octave > higher, the #9).
