  • Cascading ii-V progressions drive rapid temporary modulations, frequently establishing centers like D minor, A-flat, E-flat, and F.
  • Extensive use of altered dominants (A7alt, Eb9, Bb7b9sus, C7b5b9) and suspended chords with complex extensions (G7b9sus) creates continuous harmonic tension.
  • The reoccurring Fø7/C chord provides a distinctive, ambiguous sonority, often signaling a shift in harmonic direction.
  • The harmony avoids prolonged stays in any single key, favoring constant movement and reharmonization through the cycle of fifths.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating temporary tonal centers through targeted chord-scale applications.

Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced). The rapid and often distant modulations, coupled with complex altered dominants, demand sophisticated harmonic understanding and quick adaptability.
