Harmonic Highlights:

  • Starts with an unconventional Fmaj7 (bIImaj7), establishing immediate harmonic ambiguity outside of a diatonic minor sound.
  • Features frequent secondary dominants (e.g., F#7 to Bm7, E7 to Am7) that briefly tonicize related minor chords, adding dynamic internal movement.
  • The D9#11 resolving to Dm9 presents an unusual Lydian Dominant movement to its parallel minor, defying typical V-I resolution.
  • Incorporates chromatic shifts like C9 to Dmaj7, providing rich color and momentary modal shifts away from pure E natural minor.

Improvisation Focus: Effectively outlining altered dominant harmonies and their associated scales.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced). The frequent non-diatonic chords, altered dominants, and unexpected resolutions demand sophisticated harmonic awareness.
