A chord with b9 is ever a dominant 7 chord

Are you sure this statement is written as you meant it?

More than thirty years ago, I was fortunate enough to attend a masterclass of maestro Joe Pass at the jazz festival in Vitoria, Spain. One of the lessons that was recorded in my mind was his explanation that for him only three families of chords existed, Major, minor and dominant 7. He emphasized that for him the diminished chords were dominant 7h b9 chords.
IMHO Note b9 in major or minor chords is an erroneous note.
I do not remember ever having found a score in the Realbooks with b9 alteration in a chord other than dominant 7h.
Sorry for my english, I'm using google translator.

Rafa,

Google translator did a great job of translating Spanish to English!

Many theory books agree with Joe Pass and treat a diminished 7th chord as a dominant 7th with a flattened 9th that does not have the root present. For example, in the key of C, Bdim7 (B-D-F-Ab) is often easiest thought of G7b9 (G-B-D-F-Ab) without the G.

Regards,
Noel

So the translation of "is ever" means, "is always". I thought it might have been a typo for 'is never', which is why I checked.

I don't think I've ever written a b9 without a dominant 7th, either. I'll check as I go through my songs and report if I find a b9 that does not have a dominant 7th.

That's right, that's what I meant.

Now I understand. The truth is that I was surprised by your comment because you are a great musician. I know your excellent Brazilian Wish recording, very beautiful music. I am also a great lover of Brazilian music ;-)

The only chord that I know of that has a flatted 9th with no seventh is the major sus4 flat9 chord; for example Csus4b9.

And let's not forget about minor chord with a flat 9 and no 7th. Those can't be that obscure, particularly in the context of improvisation or scales.

Speaking of 'forget' - It appears that I myself forgot that I had already raised that "minor chord" issue before, in this very thread crazy

I have never met this chord in 40 years of music career!
Curious to see a music score showing this chord !

Unless I missed something, you can't enter that in BIAB either. You can enter C7susb9 but I don't think Csusb9 can be entered. All sus chords in BIAB have 7, 9 or 13.

Hi Mario,

I've used the sus4 with b9 on several songs I've written. It has a bit of a "mysterious" sound to it that I like. Also, as an example, if you make an Asus4b9 and then change the "A" note to a C, you now have a C9.

Just a couple of random thoughts that crossed my mind!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
