Chord Inversion

There's a tune I like by Django Reinhardt called, "Minor Swing". It's in A minor.
I was jamming around on it for a bit tonight and decided to end with this chord. The voicing is close and warm to my ears. It's an A minor 6/9 voiced from low to high-
A-F#-C-E-B

Think of it as a D9 shape with a B on the high E at 7th fret and the D dropped in lieu of the open A string. It's a very rich chord.
