Harmonic Highlights:
- Prominent use of bVIImaj7#11 and bVImaj7#11 chords (Abmaj7#11, Gbmaj7#11) introduces strong Lydian color and chromatic juxtaposition.
- Extensive chromatic planing is evident through repetitive Maj7-Dominant7 pairs (Abmaj7-Bb7, Amaj7-B7), creating non-functional, side-slipping harmony.
- The initial
Gm7, F7, Ebmaj7, F7section establishes a temporary V-I tonicization of Eb within the broader Bb context, contrasting with later abstract movements. - Frequent, rapid non-diatonic shifts and modulations move far beyond traditional functional harmony, showcasing an advanced harmonic language.
Improvisation Focus: Navigating complex chromaticism and applying appropriate Lydian and altered dominant scales for each rapidly changing chord.
Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced) - Frequent non-functional chromaticism and rapid chord changes demand sophisticated melodic and harmonic understanding.
