Hi Barbara, The chord symbol in the music is correct Bb7b9 (absolutely normal), not Bb7b4. The Cb is the b9, and the E natural is an appoggiatura - lower neighbor. It doesn’t need to be accommodated in the chord symbol, but if you wanted to include it (unnecessarily fussy, even for my detail oriented mind), I’d write Bb7b9#11or Bb7b9#4.
