Harmonic Highlights:

  • Opens with a non-diatonic Gbmaj7 (bVIMaj7 in D) paired with G7#11 (IV7#11), immediately establishing a highly chromatic and altered soundscape.
  • Features descending modulations by minor thirds through minor ii-V-I progressions (e.g., Abm7-Cmaj7, Am7-Fmaj7), a signature Clare Fischer harmonic device.
  • Utilizes frequent altered dominant chords like G7#11, Eb7#9, and E7#9, adding significant harmonic tension and coloristic possibilities.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating altered dominant and Lydian sounds.

Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced) - The pervasive chromaticism, rapid non-functional modulations, and frequent use of altered extensions demand a sophisticated harmonic understanding and ear.
