Dominant 7 chord with some or all of the following upper extensions - flat 9 (G), sharp 9 (A), sharp 11 © and flat 13 (D).

Altered scale is the 7th mode from melodic minor scale and contains all the above alterations.

Newbies aren't allowed to have all this knowledge, it's just not fair. Now go away and start asking questions like "should I buy a jazz or a p" :)

Alt chords are slippery little suckers and a lot of the choices come down to personal taste and experience but ambients starting point is a good one. If you think of the associated scale as a a melodic minor starting on the 7th, and build the chords from there, you will start to see how it all fits together. There is a LOT of jazz in there.
