Trill if I play CDEFGABC as a scale I didn't play any passing tones. If I add the notes inbetween.C#D#F#G# A# I now have a chromatic scale.I can play passing tones. If I play CC#D I played C# as apassing tone between C and D. That is the basic concept. Another way to play passing tones is between chord tones. C E G makes a CMajor triad in root position. If I play CDD#E I played D# as apassing tone. If I play EFF#G I playedF# as apassing tone. In gospel music they sound better if you play two notes of the chord and move them in parallel motion to a chromatic tone and then to a chord tone. If I play Cand E together then D and F then D#and F#and E and G I played D#and F# as passing tones. This can get fancy if I add one more chord tone.  Let's add G to our Cand E. G on the bottom part(tenor)C in the middle(alto) andE as the top part(soprano).If I play GCE then ADF then BD#F#then CEG I have played BD#F# as a passing triad or chord. This is the concept as applied to gospel music.You are leading into chord tones a half step below or a half step above.Play CEG then BD#F# then ADF then GCE.In this caseBD#F# are passing to DFA. True B is a whole step away from A it is out of synchronization, but it sounds good. It is close enough for gospel. I don't want to go into the Lydian Chromatic Concept to explain why it is out of synchonization. But it sounds good, right? passing tones and passing chords.

I made a mistake in the 4th from the last sentence. The voicing should readADF not DFA as written sorry. I'll try not to make that mistake again. Understanding music is hard enough without a mistake in the post to confuse the student.

Bb/F Bb Db

[cas10a]

Yes, the second chord would be a passing chord in Db

Here is a another example, using the chords you posted (I modified the 1st and 2nd chord just a little).  Most times you won't go from Bb to A and then back to Bb in the bass and use a passing chord, although you can.  Example using Ab to (A passing) to Bb in Bass.
