B♭aug7

B♭ Augmented 7th · 4 fingerings

Also written 7♯5, the augmented seventh raises the fifth of a dominant chord, so B♭aug7 carries the pull of a dominant plus the instability of an augmented triad. It's a strong jazz turnaround chord and a favourite of composers wanting a dominant that sounds distinctly unsettled. Sits naturally over whole-tone material.
