- Employs frequent modal interchange, pulling from C Aeolian (Bb, Gm6) to create a bittersweet, shifting tonal center within C major.
- Features a sophisticated chromatic descending bass line (F#m7b5 – Fm/maj7 – C/E – B7/D#) that prioritizes linear voice leading over traditional functional harmony.
- Utilizes non-functional Lydian dominant chords (Eb7#11) as coloristic pivots, typical of Corea’s modern jazz vocabulary.
Improvisation Focus The Lydian Dominant scale, essential for navigating the non-resolving dominant extensions and coloristic shifts.
Difficulty Rating 4/5. The unconventional root movements and rapid modal transitions require high-level melodic awareness and fluid shifting between melodic minor derivatives.
