Hello David,  I am working on improvising on the chromatic and was sort of stuck on the 2 5 1 chord progression of bars 9-12.  I am using the jam track for Cool Blue.  For the 2 chord is it E G B D?  I just want to make sure I'm hitting the right notes when the 2 chord comes around.

Thank you.

Yes, E G B D is correct. One

Yes, E G B D is correct. One thing to keep in mind is that when a ii7 V7 I is used (in place of a V7 IV7 I7), players commonly (meaning almost all the time... 99.99%) play it as a V7 IV7 I7... it still sounds good.
