If you were reading the Whole Octave Newsletter article, Guy Noir Chord a Big Hit on Valentine’s Day, you may have guessed the answer to the question: what (other) famous song uses a minor major 7th chord as a passing chord? There was a hint in the title of the article! The song is none other than My Funny Valentine!
Did anyone catch the rather obvious typo in this question??? It's a minor major 7th chord, not a major minor 7th chord. Of course, I was, well, hmmm - just checking to see if you're paying attention :-) !!
What other well-known pieces can you think of that use the beautiful and haunting color of this unique chord? List them below!
