About the Gb quartal chord
A quartal chord is built by stacking perfect fourths instead of the traditional thirds. This creates an open, modern, and ambiguous sound that avoids the major/minor distinction. Quartal harmony is a hallmark of modern jazz, particularly in the playing of McCoy Tyner, and is also used in film and contemporary classical music.
