About C9b5/E

C9b5/E is C 9 b5 with E as the lowest note. This is the 1st inversion of the chord — the same notes as C 9 b5 (C, E, F#, A#, D), but voiced so that E sits in the bass. Slash chords create a smoother bass line movement and are common in chord progressions where the bass walks stepwise.
