About Cm7#5/A#
Cm7#5/A# is C Min 7 #5 with A# as the lowest note. This is the 3rd inversion of the chord — the same notes as C Min 7 #5 (C, D#, G#, 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.
