About this chord
The minor 11th chord stacks the perfect fourth onto the m9, creating a dense harmonic texture without friction thanks to the minor third. It is the signature chord of modal jazz and neo-soul. From Miles Davis to Kendrick Lamar, it crosses all styles. Quartal voicings — stacking fourths — give it a very contemporary sound.
