- Utilizes static modality, where chords sustain for four measures, prioritizing atmospheric color over traditional functional cadences.
- Employs a bVI major movement from Em7 to Cmaj7#11, introducing a bright Lydian sonority that contrasts with the prevailing minor tonality.
- Features non-functional root motion, such as the whole-step shift to Dm7, which emphasizes modal interchange rather than V-I resolutions.
- The structure relies on impressionistic shifts, using minor 7th and major 7th chords to create a sense of suspended motion typical of 1970s post-bop.
Improvisation Focus Modal Phrasing (specifically navigating E Aeolian, C Lydian, and D Dorian scales).
Difficulty Rating 3/5: While the harmonic rhythm is slow, the primary challenge lies in maintaining melodic interest and structural coherence over long, static modal sections.
