B7(b9) chord
The B dominant minor ninth chord (abbreviated B7(b9) chord) is a five-note chord consisting of the notes B, D♯, F♯, A, and C. The chord is formed by adding a minor ninth to the B dominant seventh chord.
In practice, the fifth (F♯) is often omitted from the B7(b9) chord because it's not always possible to play all notes simultaneously.
