- Implements “Coltrane Changes” by superimposing major-third cycles over the structural framework of Charlie Parker’s “Confirmation.”
- Features rapid multi-tonic modulations (F, Db, and A major), forcing the harmony to cycle through keys a major third apart every two beats.
- Replaces standard ii-V-I cadences with condensed cycles, such as the Fmaj7 - Ab7 - Dbmaj7 - E7 - Amaj7 sequence, creating high-density harmonic rhythm.
Improvisation Focus Multi-tonic systems (Coltrane Changes).
Difficulty Rating 5 (Advanced). The relentless harmonic rhythm and non-diatonic key centers require total mastery of major-third cycles at high tempos.
