About this chord
The dominant 11th chord is most often used without the third to avoid the clash with the perfect fourth. In jazz, it creates open, floating textures. Miles Davis explored this type of voicing during his modal and fusion periods, creating less defined and more contemporary harmonic atmospheres.
