Harmonic Highlights
- Employs non-functional chromaticism and “side-slipping” (e.g., Gbmaj7#11 to Am9), bypassing traditional cycle-of-fifths resolutions.
- Heavily utilizes Lydian (#11) and Lydian Augmented (#5) structures to create a floating, suspended tonal environment.
- Integration of minor/major 7th and m69 chords emphasizes the Melodic Minor scale as a foundational harmonic color rather than a passing tone.
- Frequent parallel movement between unrelated keys forces a departure from a singular “home” key center.
Improvisation Focus Modal shifting and the application of Melodic Minor modes over non-functional changes.
Difficulty Rating 5/5: The complete absence of standard ii-V-I cadences and the rapid, unpredictable harmonic shifts require an advanced mastery of modal transposition and linear connectivity.
