What chord is this (Part 2) ?

From the repeat, measures 21 - 24. Starts with Eb7 in the Real Book.

Does Herbie use that voicing there (I think we're talking about the one from the second post in this thread, right?) I'll have to have a re-listen.

Yes, pretty consistently across several versions. I just listened to the original Blue Note and then from a CD called Third Plane (Carter, Hancock, Williams). Even when he plays single note melody throughout the rest of the head, he uses that voicing over at least a part of that four bar phase.

Over which chords, exactly? I just listened, and the parallel voicing he uses over the Eb7 doesn't sound like that voicing to me. I can't make out all the notes, but the parallel thing over the Eb7 sounds like a moving 7(9,#11) kind of voicing.

 

Edit: ok, I just listened some more. The only place I hear something resembling that voicing in those 4 bars is on the E7 chord in bar 24.

Richard, you're right. I was basing this on the Mark Levine book which shows it that way. In reality, I think it's a +II upper structure with the first chord being (top to bottom): A, F, Db, G.
