Harmonic Highlights:

  • Employs chromatic minor chord movement (e.g., Gm7, Em11, Fm7) creating coloristic shifts rather than strict functional progression.
  • Features interspersed ii-V progressions, alternating between the tonic (Dm) and related minor (Gm) key areas.
  • Striking juxtaposition of the Dm11 tonic with a bIImaj7#11 (Dbmaj7#11), creating a signature “sidestepping” sound.

Improvisation Focus: Modal flexibility embracing chromatic alteration.

Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced). Its frequent non-diatonic shifts and sophisticated juxtapositions of functional and coloristic harmony demand advanced harmonic awareness.
