- Features non-functional chromatic planing via Dbmaj7 and Bmaj7, acting as sophisticated color substitutions that briefly depart from the Eb tonic.
- Employs an Eb pedal point with shifting triad upper structures (E/Eb and D/Eb), creating rapid oscillation between Lydian and Phrygian-influenced tensions.
- Incorporates a standard minor ii-V-i progression (Dm7b5 - G7#9 - Cm7) to tonicize the relative minor (vi), providing a bridge between the modal sections and functional bop vocabulary.
- Utilizes stable I6/9 and IV6/9 chords to establish a broad, modern jazz harmonic palette rather than traditional dominant-heavy movements.
Improvisation Focus Eb Major/Blues hybrid scales with specific “side-slipping” adjustments for the non-diatonic major 7th chords.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: The tune requires balancing standard hard-bop language with the ability to navigate static pedal points and sudden, non-functional harmonic shifts.
