- Employs non-functional quartal harmony through a series of dominant sus4 chords (C7sus, Eb7sus, Ab7sus) that shift centers by minor thirds and fourths, creating a modern, “suspended” modal texture.
- Juxtaposes static modal sections with rapid-fire functional ii-V-I cells, forcing the soloist to transition quickly from open sus-chord sounds to dense, altered dominant tension.
- Utilizes melodic minor harmony within the turnaround sequences (Gm7b5–C7alt and Dm7b5–G7alt), demanding precise navigation of altered extensions and Locrian ♮2 colors.
Improvisation Focus The Melodic Minor scale and its modes (specifically Altered and Locrian ♮2) for navigating the chromatic turnaround cells.
Difficulty Rating 4/5: The fast tempo and the requirement to pivot instantly between static modal structures and complex, high-velocity ii-V-I resolutions demand advanced harmonic fluency and technical agility.
