Bm7♭5
B Half-Diminished · 4 fingerings
Known as the half-diminished chord, Bm7♭5 is a minor seventh with a flattened fifth — darker and less stable than a minor seventh, but not as severe as a fully diminished chord. Its main job in jazz is as the ii chord of a minor key, leading to an altered dominant and then home. Essential for playing minor jazz standards.
