Need help with some theory!

Hey everyone,

I'm working on a new lick I've transcribed for my blog ( [url="http://www.mattlawtonbass.blogspot.com"]http://www.mattlawtonbass.blogspot.com[/url] )

And I'm a bit stuck on the theory! It's from this track [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6np1zhRar0[/media] at about 3:40

Just coming into the B section and the chords are Bb-7|Eb7b9|AbMaj7

Here's a link to the notation...

The parts that are throwing me are - Over the Eb7b9 chord there's all kinds of strange notes getting thrown in, my first thought was altered scale which seems to fit except for the natural 7th. I can't find a scale to fit the whole lot, or is the natural 7th just a juicy chromatic note? Also I've not seen an alt chord in a major ii V I before??

The other part is over the final chord, AbMaj7, the lick is just playing what seems to be Eb- pentatonic??

Anybody who can shed any light on this would be a big help!
