- Employs clear secondary dominant functions, such as F#7 (V7/vi) resolving to Bm7, adding characteristic jazz harmonic motion.
- Incorporates subtle alterations like E/G# (functioning as V/V) and suspended V chords (G/A, A/G) to enhance tension and resolution within the overall diatonic framework.
- Features lush diatonic voicings and extensions, including Em9 and various slash chords (Dmaj7/F#), contributing to its smooth, flowing texture.
