- Frequent tritone substitutions and descending minor second dominant progressions (e.g., Db7-Gb7, Bb7-Ebmaj7) create constant harmonic movement.
- Rapid, non-diatonic modulations and distant key centers (e.g., Dbmaj7 juxtaposed with D7) continuously destabilize the implied D major tonality.
- Characteristic Monk extensions, notably the #11 (e.g., Bb13#11, Eb7#11), infuse dominant chords with rich color and tension.
- Complex ii-V progressions often resolve deceptively or lead to remote keys before finally resolving to D major via Em7-A7.
Improvisation Focus: Navigating altered dominant scales and complex arpeggios across rapidly shifting key centers.
Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced) due to its rapid, non-diatonic modulations and demanding chord-scale relationships that require sophisticated harmonic understanding.
