I'm trying to lift the Robert Glasper tune entitled "FTB". You can hear it at:


Can someone with good ears help me clear up a discrepancy about the B
section? I'm pretty sure the basic chords to the B section are:

CMAJ7 EbMAJ7 EbMAJ7 FMAJ7
(repeat x 1)
Fmin7 GbMAJ7 GbMAJ7 AbMAJ7


A guy in a jazz ensemble in which I am participating, claims it goes:
Emin11 EbMAJ7 EbMAJ7 FMAJ7
(repeat x1)
C7sus4 DbMAJ7 DbMAJ7 EbMAJ7
BbMAJ7 Dmin11
(based on a chart he found online... he didn't lift it from the recording)

What do you guys here?

Surely only an 11 (4) or 9 (2) can be a sus, not a #11? Or am I misunderstanding?

Hi Chris,

When I read "help lifting something" I was
afraid you wanted someone to help moving furniture. :-)

I think your changes sound right. I hear more of
a 6/9 or maj9 sound to all the maj7 chords and the Fmi7 sounds like mi11.

The last 6 chords could be voiced like below:

1 x 1 3 1 x
2 x 1 1 2 x
2 x 1 1 2 x
4 x 3 3 4 x
6 x 5 5 6 x
x 5 5 5 5 x or x 5 3 5 5 x

Hope you can decipher that,
Steve
