Music Theory • Re: A chord containing a 6, 7 and 9 - what would you call it?

The context of the chord is going to determine what it is. Its function is more important than what you call it. I would audition the chord progression, substituting the polychord in question with each of the 3 possible base chords (Am, C, G) unadorned, to determine which one best maintained the chord function, and then build the chord spelling from there.

Or I’d just call it jazz and not think too much about it.
I really like your answer. The function in the context of the overall chord progression is the real interesting thing to find out.
