In jazz the bb7 is generally assumed if the chord is written with "dim" except
sometimes in horn arrangements. If the chord functions as a VII then it may be
written as a minb5 but even there most jazz musicians will assume the 7th is
present and so will play a min7b5.
The use of triads in jazz is limited except in polychords and hexatonic scales,
and those aren't used that often. Triads are generally considered too "plain
vanilla" and uninteresting. To a great extent the harmonic signature of jazz
is in the extensions applied to chords: b9, 9, #9, 11, #11, b13, 13 in
particular.
