About C7b5/A#

C7b5/A# is C 7 b5 with A# as the lowest note. This is the 3rd inversion of the chord — the same notes as C 7 b5 (C, E, F#, A#), but voiced so that A# sits in the bass. Slash chords create a smoother bass line movement and are common in chord progressions where the bass walks stepwise.
