Subject:Re: ABB's version of "Stormy Monday" - what's Gregg playing? AND THE ANSWER IS.....

enharmonic
Main Entry: en·har·mon·ic
Pronunciation: "en-(")här-'mä-nik
Function: adjective
Etymology: French enharmonique, from Middle French, of
a scale employing quarter tones, from Greek
enarmonios, from en in + harmonia harmony, scale
: of, relating to, or being notes that are written
differently (as A flat and G sharp) but sound the same
in the tempered scale
- en·har·mon·i·cal·ly /-ni-k(&-)lE/ adverb

The Cb reference was to what amounted to a G#m7 chord.
(F# B.or Cb D#)
That chord (the chord that is 1/2 step up from the G7)
is a major chord not minor [F# C D#].

Another note: I'm not theory major, but I believe one
would only refer to B as Cb if they were playing a
piece in six flats. That would be the key of Gb.
