Or I suppose it was the earlier A7 in m5-6, or 21-22, but still relevant.

All of Me - A7 on measure #28 (9th?)

Christian and I had a lengthy duel about this chord starting at post 18 on this thread: Dorian b5 and Mixolydian b9 scales. Why not?

People do perceive the b9 as highly dissonant. OTOH it is more diatonic that b9 (for E7 it's F in the key of C, so within the C major scale.) b9 is typical for an applied or secondary dominant...
