- Features a prominent minor iiø-V-i (F#m7b5-B7b9-Em7) for the tonic E minor.
- Employs deceptive resolutions, such as the Am7b5-D7b9 resolving to Gmaj7 (bIII of E minor), indicating modal interchange.
- Showcases a complex chromatic dominant sequence (C7, A7, Bb7, Am7, Ab7#11), creating significant harmonic tension and momentum.
- Includes multiple altered dominant chords (D7b9, B7b9, B7#9, Ab7#11) that expand harmonic color.
Improvisation Focus: The Altered Scale (Super Locrian) for navigating the numerous b9 and #9 dominant chords.
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). Requires navigating frequent harmonic shifts, non-diatonic chords, and altered dominant scales beyond basic diatonic understanding.
