- Frequent use of non-functional “side-slipping” via Gbmaj7#11 (bIImaj7) and Ebmaj7#11 (bVIImaj7), creating a Lydian-inflected, shifting tonal landscape.
- Stepwise descending minor chords (Dm7 - Cm7 - Bbm7 - Am7) provide a modal, linear transition that avoids traditional circle-of-fifths logic.
- A functional ii-V-i turnaround (Em7b5 - A7b9 - Dm7) serves as a momentary tonal anchor in the relative minor (D minor).
- The harmonic structure favors “constant structure” relationships, where the quality of the chord remains static while the root moves symmetrically or chromatically.
Improvisation Focus Chord-scale shifting: Navigating the parallel Lydian structures by rapidly adjusting the parent scale to accommodate the non-functional Major 7th movements.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: While the tempo is usually moderate, the non-functional harmonic shifts and modal descent require a sophisticated understanding of chord-scale relationships.
