The big problem with jazz nomenclature is that it varies from city to city.
In Toronto you often see major written as a triangle. sometimes you see altered scales written as K.S, which means kitchen sink (because there can pretty much be anything and everything in an altered scale, b9 #9 b13 13 #11)

Thanks very much for all the informative replies.

I'm going to go with the "aug" explanation. It seems to make the most sense. And, after I've plugged the changes into Band In A Box, using Db9+, G7b9#13, and D7+, it sounds right.

Vulgano Brother's suggestion of sitting down with a recording and playing along is what I have been doing with this tune. This has been my method of learning a new tune for years. And now that I have the progression in BIAB, I'll be practicing that ad infinitum. I'm just now learning how to "read" the changes rather than "hear" them. So, I'll start off my practicing by playing the chord scales with some of the Jamey Aebersold scale patterns from Volume 1 over the changes.

If anyone is in the same boat I'm slowly getting off of, you will know that not being able to "read" changes is a real detrimant when someone calls a tune up out of the blue that you've never heard before. Fortunately for me, most of the tunes that get called up are based on standards or common chord progressions - blues, rhythm changes, etc.

For those that might want to try these chords out over the actual recording, you will have to transpose the progression up a whole step. The progression starts around 2:47. Miles comes in on the and of 3 of the first bar of the progression. It goes from cut time to common time for the last four bars. So, basically just double the length of each of the last four bars in the progression.

Have fun!
