About this chord

The 13♯11 chord is the most complete form of the Lydian Mixolydian mode. Its exceptional spectral richness and floating color make it a favorite in modern jazz. Herbie Hancock and post-bop guitarists use it as both a color chord and a functional dominant. Drop-2 or quartal voicings capture its essence.
