Harmonic Highlights:
- Prominent use of major 7#11 chords (e.g., Gbmaj7#11, Ebmaj7#11) creating non-functional, chromatic mediant relationships.
- Frequent “sideslipping” between Fmaj7 and these chromatic major chords, often interrupting expected functional progressions.
- Alternation between clear functional harmony (e.g., Em7b5-A7b9-Dm7) and extended non-diatonic movements.
- The Gbmaj7#11 chord acts as a signature chromatic device, often appearing abruptly to disrupt tonal expectations.
Improvisation Focus: Navigating rapid, non-functional modal shifts, particularly emphasizing Lydian sounds.
Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced). The constant chromaticism and non-functional harmony demand advanced ear training and harmonic awareness for improvisation.
