	Blue note - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The blue notes correspond approximately to the flatted third, flatted fifth, and flatted seventh scale degrees, although they approximate non-equal tempered pitches found in African work songs; specifically, the flatted seventh may often be a justly tuned minor seventh.
		In its earliest manifestations, the flatted third, or mediant, and flatted seventh, or subtonic, were the main blue notes.
		Emphasis on the flatted fifth, or dominant, was an innovation in bebop in the 1940s.

	Tritone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		However, only the augmented fourth consists of three whole tones in meantone temperament, from where the terminology derives, and calling the diminished fifth a tritone is incorrect in that context.
		Note that in other meantone tunings, the augmented fourth and the diminished fifth are distinct intervals because neither is exactly half an octave.
		In 31 equal temperament, for example, the diminished fourth, or tritone proper, is 580.6 cents, whereas a 7/5 is 582.5 cents.

	Marc Sabatella's Jazz Improvisation Primer: Derived Scales
		The second degree of this scale, which is the flatted third of the minor scale, is called a blue note.
		The flatted seventh and fifth are also sometimes called blue notes, and are not always sung or played exactly on the notated pitch.
		Your choice of whether to use the fifth mode of the harmonic or melodic minor scales over a dominant seventh chord may partially depend on the key of the tune.

	Chording
		For example the first, third, and fifth notes are used when the beginning note is the first note of the scale (the key note).
		The "flatted seventh" tone (creating a dominant 7th chord) is commonly added to the V chord as this note provides a psycho-acoustic pulling effect for this chord back to the home or I chord.
		Chord’s thirds, fifths, ninths, elevenths, ect, are sometimes flatted or sharped (note: common terminology for the flatted fifth is the term diminished fifth; common terminology for the sharped fifth is an augmented fifth).

	Marc Sabatella's Jazz Improvisation Primer: Melodic Minor Harmony
		Bebop musicians often called this a flatted fifth, writing the chord symbol as D7b5, although this normally implies the diminished scale, which is discussed later.
		For a G7 chord, this means the lowered or flat fifth (Db), the raised or sharp fifth (D#), the lowered or flat ninth (Ab), and the raised or sharp ninth (A#).
		The rest of the notes, Ab, Bb, Db, and Eb, are respectively, the flatted ninth, the raised ninth, the flatted fifth, and the raised fifth.

	(excerpted from another context)
		The syntonic comma is 22 cents, the denominator of the fraction, and the number of cents flat from the perfect fifth is the numerator of the fraction.
		For example, the fifth interval in 1/4 comma meantone temperament is 5.5 cents flat relative to the perfect, Pythagorean fifth interval.
		Other temperaments are known as "irregular", having inconsistent fifth intervals, yet also having the potential to close the circle of fifths for entirely chromatic playing, primarily by the piano.

		For a C chord, it would be C F G. The chord is Csus4 (or Csus), because the fourth functions as a suspension - a dissonant note - that tends to resolve downward to a third.
		The fifth of the chord, by the way, is technically called a perfect fifth (3 1/2 steps).
		A diminished seventh chord (or just diminished chord) has a minor third, a flat fifth and a diminished seventh - a seventh that is lowered a half step from the normal (flat) seventh.

		The most famous example of the flatted fifth in classic jazz literature occurs in Coleman Hawkins's 1939 recording of Body and Soul.
		(The flatted fifths result from superimposing a tritone sub over the existing dominant bass note.) Kubik suggests that bebop was somehow getting back to its blues roots with flatted fifth harmony.
		Kubic believes that the flatted fifth as a pitch-line phenomenon led to the flatted fifth as a harmonic phenomenon.

	Chord Theory
		The fifth is an interval formulated by the combination of either a major third and a minor third or a minor third and a major third.
		In other words, if the C note on the fifth string is located at the third fret of the fifth string (which we know it is, don't we?), then the sixth, or A in this case, will be found at the 12th fret (3 + 9 = 12).
		It also can be said that the flat seventh is comprised of a major third plus a minor third plus a minor third.

		To avoid confusion, these counting numbers should be pronounced: "first", "second", "third", "fourth", "fifth", etc. even if the "st", "nd", "rd" or "th" is not appended to the number.
		For the flatted fifth version of the minor chord [0,3,6] (~5:6:7 or ~17:20:24) it might be written "Dmb5".
		In a natural septatonic set there are four different seventh chords: the one regular seventh chord [0,4,7,10], three minor seventh chords [0,3,7,10], two major chords [0,4,7,11] and a minor seventh chord with a flatted fifth [0,3,6,10].

	Chord Formation-- 30 Jan 2002
		As stated in the description of Table 4, a chord fits within a key when all the notes in the chord are contained in the key (major keys are shown in Table 2).
		The fifth chord uses 1 - 5 (there is no third), the sus2 chord uses 1 - 2 - 5 (the third is suspended and replaced by the second), and the sus4 chord uses 1 - 4 - 5 (the third is suspended and replaced by the fourth).
		Again, chords which fit within the key of C (have no flatted or sharped notes) are shown in white.

	Prokofiev's Harmonic Styles - 7 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		A piece entitled "valse" from his 5th series of sobachky written in 1906 shows a trait that is typical of later procedures.
		The trait in question is the frequent use of augmented sixth chords and dominant seventh chords with the flatted fifth, by which Prokofiev attempts to create a sense of tonal ambiguity.
		The first chord of this waltz is indeed a dominant seventh with a flatted fifth, creating a temporary sense of ambiguity, which is, however, resolved in the following measure as the flatted fifth ascends chromatically to the natural fifth of the chord.

		It is very similar to a "sus" chord except that an eleventh chord is supported by a ninth in the harmony and has a flatted seventh.
		Because of the presence of the flatted seventh in the chord, it is heard as a "dominant" chord, with the third being replaced by the fourth.
		In dominant or minor chords, it's not uncommon to see a "b5" (flatted fifth) interval, especially in a jazz context.

		Looking at the first bar of the lead sheet, we see three melody notes: C, A, and F. The notes of the Dm7 chord that accompanies this bar are D, F, A, C (the root, minor third, fifth, and flatted seventh of Dm7).
		The most common way to harmonize chord-tone melodies is to spell the chord beneath the melody in closed position—arranging the chord tones in order (root, third, fifth, seventh, etc.), with the smallest available interval between chord tones.
		Dominant-seventh chords whose roots are an augmented fourth apart are interchangeable because they share the same major third and flatted seventh (though their harmonic functions are inverted).

		When fifth intervals are played either major or minor scales can be played over it since the 5th interval is natural in both scales.
		Because it also has a flatted third we might think of it as a minor chord however, it isn’t a minor triad because the fifth is flatted so it is in a category all it’s own.
		The fifth mode the Mixolydian has the flat seven and is major so we can think of it as the dominant mode.

		All these chords have a minor third, a flatted seventh, and are in the Dorian family of chord, and are usually called "Minor Seventh" chords (duh).
		The Aeolian family of chords is formed on a minor triad, because the third is minor, or flatted.
		Now, you may ask, "Why does a major interval have to be flatted twice to be diminished, and a perfect interval flatted only once?" The first answer to that is, when you have a perfect interval, there is no such thing as minor, it just goes straight to dimished.

	The Phish Archive - Welcome.
		Here's the tritone principle in a nutshell: the third and the lowered seventh of a major scale (the tones that define the dominant-seventh chord sound) form an interval of a flatted fifth, also called the _tritone_.
		Since the notes in a tritone are equidistant (at equal intervals from each other), they can function as the third and the lowered seventh in two different keys, also a flatted fifth apart.
		And remember, since a tritone also functions as a dominant-seventh chord a flatted fifth away, you can lower the B note a half-step to A# (Bb) and raise the F a half-step to Gb (F#) to create Db7-Gb resolution, as in Figure 2A.

		The term "II-V" (usually denoted in Roman numerals, and pronounced "two five") stems from the fact that, in any given major key, the II chord is a minor seventh chord based on the second interval of that key, and the V chord is a dominant chord based on the fifth interval of that same key.
		The II chord very often moves to the V chord and often resolves to the I chord, creating a musical pattern that is an entity unto itself.
		eg: D-7(b5) G7(b9) Notice that the flatted fifth of D-7 is the same note as the flatted ninth of G7: Ab.

	Chord Substitution Studies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		This chord is called a minor seventh with a flatted fifth, or a ‘minor seven flat five chord for short.
		To summarize, we’ve found a major seventh chord at positions 1 and 4, minor sevenths at positions 2, 4, and 6, a dominant seventh at position 5 and a minor seven flat five chord at position 7 in the scale.
		Since I was able to hear that jazz musicians had a much deeper understanding of chord progressions evidenced in their choices of notes in improvisation, I knew that the cycle of fourths was only part of the picture.
