  • Harmonic Highlights:

    • Modal interplay between the opening Em7-F#m7 and the extended Cmaj7 (bVI) establishes a distinctive, open minor tonality, referencing E Dorian and Aeolian.
    • A clear ii-V-I progression (Am7-D7-Gmaj7) resolves to the relative major, G major, providing a contrasting harmonic anchor.
    • The form concludes with an unexpected iiø-V-I (F#m7b5-B7b9-Emaj7), modulating forcefully to the parallel major (E major).
  • Improvisation Focus: Modal Interchange.

  • Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). The frequent shifts between E minor, G major, and the final modulation to E major demand sophisticated harmonic navigation.
