No obvious ii-V patterns detected.
Harmonic Highlights:
- The predominant use of Fm11 immediately establishes a modal minor quality (F Dorian), creating a contrast with the stated F major key center and signifying modal interchange.
- A non-functional chromatic root movement occurs from Fm11 (i) to Db7#11 (bVI7#11) and then to Dm11 (VI11), eschewing traditional diatonic resolutions.
- The Db7#11 functions as a distinct, colorful sonority, often interpreted as a Lydian Dominant, providing tension without typical dominant-tonic resolution.
- Each chord is sustained for four bars, emphasizing extended modal sonorities and promoting a relaxed, groove-oriented harmonic rhythm.
Improvisation Focus: Modal playing.
Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate) The slow harmonic rhythm simplifies execution, but identifying and applying the specific modal scales for each sustained chord requires clear harmonic understanding.
