C#mMaj7

— About this chord

C#mMaj7 pairs a minor 3rd with a major 7th for a haunting, unresolved tension that's darker than a straight minor 7th chord — a hallmark of film noir scoring and moody jazz ballads. It creates a suspenseful, cinematic pull often used as a i chord in minor-key jazz standards or as a passing chord between minor and minor 7th harmony. Movable shapes suit chromatic voice-leading in minor-key progressions. Also searched as C#m(maj7), C#minMaj7, DbmMaj7, D♭mMaj7.
