a dominant seventh with its fifth or ninth moved
A dominant seventh with the tension turned up: the fifth flattened or raised, the ninth flattened or sharpened, sometimes both. The alterations sharpen the pull toward the chord that follows, which is why these belong at the end of a phrase rather than the middle of one. Jazz and gospel live here.
