Default Dm75
In my Real Book, the sheet for "Cherokee" has a Dm75 chord. Is this another way of writing half-diminshed? #5? Either-or? #5 would make sense since the tune's in Bb, but there is a G7b9 in the same measure so b5 would make sense as well.

Thanks very much

Surely just a typo for Dm7b5.

That was my first instinct as well, but then the #5 being Bb had me questioning it. Thanks

I've always played it with a iii VI ii V to end the first A, that's in Book 1 as well.

Wouldn't the Dm7b5 just be the iii half-dim? That's how I was taught the tune (I learned it from recordings and from a teacher, not from a real book).

Yes it's just a iii-VI with the G7b9.

I see that typo in my Real Book, of course it's supposed to be Dm7b5. But ii-VI with G7b9 ?? Think again. Maybe you made your own typo.

You have a typo. He wrote iii-VI, not ii-VI.

In fairness, in some versions the notation implies that you are supposed to play a Dm triad seventy five times within the half measure. On guitar, it's really a challenge for the right hand.
