The 6/9 chord was very common for this style of music.  I believe this 
to be Db69.

OK, let's see. Db root/bass. In addition to the root, we need a 3rd: F
(check), a fifth: Ab (check), a sixth: Bb (check), and a ninth: Eb (check).
Voila! A Db 6/9! Or wait a minute! Maybe it's an Eb9sus in 3rd inversion...

Dear David,

It may look like that to you; I don't dispute that.  But to musicians 
who are conversant with mid to late 20th Century American popular 
music and jazz conventions, this is unquestionably recognized as a 69 
chord.

Calling it something else (for the community described above) is less 
descriptive.

Chuck

I've always used the basic added 6th chord, close scored. Works well. Keith

I think it's Eb, F, Ab, Bb over a Db in the bass.

[Finale] Plea for help TAN

2002-05-20 Thread John Bell

Can anyone help? I'm transcribing some 40s dance band music and my 
brain/ear have gone on strike.

The trombone chord at the beginning of Pennsylvania 6-5000 sounds 
like (from the bottom up) Db,Gb,Cb,Eb. And yet...it doesn't seem 
quite right.

I'd be hugely grateful if anyone can shed any light on this.

Thanks
John
