Jacki,
Looks (and sounds) to me as if the C flat continues in that measure,
which makes perfect sense harmonically. The result is not a C minor
chord at all, it's a G 7 #5#9, and everything is right in the world
of normal, functional, jazz harmony.

Just played this on the pno. and it sounds odd, in that I don't

What are the preceding chord and melody and bass notes, and the
following?
Thanks, everyone, for helping me figure this out! Okay - I've
taken a snapshot of the measure that includes the chord in question
and a couple of measures after it...

The chord I'm referring to is the 2nd chord in the first measure
shown (following the Db9). While we're at it - I am calling the
chord *after* the one in question (1st chord in the next measure) a
Cm11 - is this also correct?! Like I said, this song is full of
"jazz chords" that I'm just not familiar with!!
Thanks again for the help with analysis!
- Jacki
