Ha ha! Yes, Darcy nailed it. Cmaj7, the Canadian variant. I saw it here in
Montreal, too, and had to deal with musicians mis-reading it as Cdim7, among
other things. Like the crumhorn, the serpent, and the ophecleide, the circled
7th chord has died a deserved death, only employed by dead people
Bill Evans used to use a European 7, the one with a slash through it used to
distinguish it from the European 1 that looks a lot like our 7. I got used to
that as a shorthand Maj7 symbol. It worked especially well for min/Maj7 chords.
Anything's good, as long as there's concensus. I'd use
I'm doing a chart, and the composer has some chords as C (7) but

What are the instruments playing under that symbol?
Or do you just have a lead sheet?
In such cases of odd chord symbols, I've always relied on the notes under the
symbol to tell me what the odd symbol *really* means.

Dead. And Canadian... Hah!
The old MTV quiz show had a category called Dead or Canadian - name a
