That said, there is something about the closeness of the 9th and 3rd in the context of those chords that makes them sound really distinctive.
I think I need to start practicing more....
They said they didn't know them and DG doesn't know either.

I have my little finger missing on my left hand though (after an accident) so i cant play that 4th chord. However, i just play it
X 6 8 8 6 6 and it sounds 90% correct.
Thanks

Wendy Melvoin. Her farther was a jazz musician apparently so I bet she'd been playing those mega-stretch chord shapes for most of her teens....

The iconic solo and falsetto vocals at the end were just improvs, and Wendy Melvoin hit those insane chords again and again effortlessly. If you watch the footage, she does it without batting an eyelid.
It's a stunning performance all round
