D7+5 chord

[martin1313]

The tune I'm learning calls for a D7+5 chord, what is that? Is it just a D7 with an Aug 5th or what?

i think.. mabye xx(10)(11)(11)(10) or xx4534

I was right, just a 7th chord with an aug (sharped) 5th. It's a pretty cool chord, play a Bbmaj7 with a root on the 6th (6x776X) then go to a D7+5 root on the 5th (x5857x) then to an Ebmaj7 root on the 5th (x6878x). It sounds nice, nice voice leading and resolution (or whatever its called :-P)

x7765x then x5655x... then 3x443x then x3533x: i figured that out recently as cool descent, i like that Bb to D7+5 sounds cool, gotta remember it
