How Deep Is The Ocean?

[musicman5string]

Who plays what on the 13th and 14th bars of this tune? I've been playing a B7 for years, as that's the way a pianist showed it to me, but I hear others doing different stuff and can't quite make it out...is it Cmin7b5 to F7, hence a little tritone sub, or some other stuff?

So in the key of Cmin/Eb maj, we got:

Cm/Dmin7b5 G7/Cm/Amin7b5 D7
Gm/Amin7b5 D7/Gm C7/Fm Bb7
Eb7/Eb7/Ab7/Ab7/?/?/Fm/Dmin7b5 G7


Any thoughts?

oscar peterson and ray brown seem to play a B7 on the ben webster record...if its good enough for them...

whenever i play a tune and someone has slightly different changes that i am not hearing, i try to make eye contact and get them to show me the root with their left hand, i can often figure out the rest of the chord from there. if i cant do that i just ask em real quick right after the tune what they were playing.

Hey thanks for the info. I have also always played B7, but have noticed different changes on occasion. I'll check out this recording!
