- Utilizes descending chromatic dominant cycles (Eb7–D7, Gb7–F7), providing a lush, Ellingtonian “smearing” effect between functional targets.
- Employs subV/VI (Eb7) to VI (D7) resolutions, bypassing traditional ii-V logic in favor of parallel harmonic motion.
- Integrates minor-ii-V patterns (Em7b5–A7) to pivot toward the relative minor, increasing harmonic density within a major-key framework.
Improvisation Focus
Chromatic voice leading using the Altered Scale over dominant substitutions.
Difficulty Rating
4 (Advanced) — The dense chromaticism and rapid succession of non-diatonic dominant chords require precise harmonic navigation and sophisticated voice-leading skills.
