- Integration of minor ii-V-i cells (Dm7b5-G7b9-Cm7) within a broader Eb major/C minor relative framework.
- Use of secondary dominants like C9#5 (V/ii) and F7 (V/V) to provide strong directional pull and chromatic variety.
- Employment of tritone substitutions (Db7 and B7) to create smooth, half-step bass movement toward primary tonal targets.
