GmMaj7

— About this chord

GmMaj7 (1-b3-5-7) pairs a minor 3rd against a natural 7th for a haunting, noir-ish tension — dark yet gleaming, like moonlight through smoke. A favorite of film composers for suspense and melancholy cues, and of jazz players as a i-chord in minor key harmony or a passing chord in descending bass lines (e.g. Gm to GmMaj7 to Gm7). Also searched as Gm(maj7), G minor major 7, GminMaj7.
