- Employs “constant structure” minor 7th chords (Em7-Bm7-F#m7) moving in non-diatonic cycles to create a sense of shifting tonal planes.
- Utilizes a ii-V (Gm7b5–C7b9) that resolves deceptively to a chromatic Dbmaj7, bypassing the expected F minor resolution.
- Extensive use of Lydian colors via maj7#11 chords (Gb and Eb) provides a bright, floating quality against the darker minor 7th sections.
- Slash chord movement (Cm7/F to F7) functions as a dominant turnaround to Bbmaj7, grounding the chromaticism momentarily in the relative major.
Improvisation Focus Modal shifting and side-slipping using Dorian or Minor Pentatonic scales over the moving minor 7th “constant structures.”
Difficulty Rating 4/5 (Advanced): The fast-paced Latin tempo combined with non-functional, chromatic root movements demands advanced melodic fluency and rapid harmonic transposition.
