- Modal Blues Framework: Employs a 12-bar minor blues structure using Cm11 and Fm11, emphasizing a static Dorian landscape rather than functional V-I progressions.
- Chromatic Turnaround: Replaces the standard ii-V with a unique F#m7b5 – F7#11 – E7alt – A7alt sequence, utilizing chromatic descent and altered dominants to create high tension.
- Lydian Dominant Color: The F7#11 introduces a #11 tension, acting as a melodic pivot that bridges the subdominant area to the altered turnaround.
Improvisation Focus: C Dorian scale.
Difficulty Rating: 3/5; the modal sections are accessible, but the non-functional turnaround and 6/4 meter require intermediate harmonic and rhythmic precision.
