Dominant 13th sus4 Chords on Piano

The dominant 13th sus4 is one of the largest suspended chords in common use, combining the open fourth with the warm 13th (natural 6th) and dominant 7th. It produces a big, orchestral, Herbie Hancock-style voicing that works as a standalone color chord or as a tension-before-resolution device in jazz and fusion.
