Nor would I. In fact, I'd see this as incredibly confusing, if not outright
wrong, as b13 is a tension of a dominant-function chord. It could be seen as
Eb6-9/G as well as Cm7(11)/G. At its essence it's a pentatonic scale sounded
as a quasi-cluster. What I'd call it would depend entirely on context - what
are the preceding and following chords? What's the key?
