- The composition centers on an extended ii-I oscillation (Fm11 to Eb69), establishing a static modal foundation rather than a functional, driving cadence.
- The shift to Dbmaj9 introduces a bVIImaj7 chord, providing a Lydian color shift that resolves back to the tonic through parallel harmonic planing.
- The progression emphasizes quartal voicings and suspended tensions (m11, 6/9), prioritizing textural color over traditional dominant-to-tonic resolution.
Improvisation Focus Modal interchange between Eb Major/Dorian and Db Lydian.
Difficulty Rating 3/5; while the harmonic rhythm is slow, the challenge lies in sustaining melodic interest over static vamps and navigating non-functional shifts.
