- The unique F7#11 (bIV7#11) introduces a distinct Lydian dominant color, creating an unexpected tension.
- Frequent chromatic mediant motion, particularly the Ebm7 (bIIIbm7), showcases modal interchange from parallel minor.
- Effective tritone substitution is employed with Ab7 (bVI7) resolving to G7 (V7), replacing the expected D7.
- Underlying standard ii-V-I progressions (Em7-A7-Dm7-G7) provide clear harmonic anchors amidst the chromaticism.
Improvisation Focus: Adaptive use of Melodic Minor modes for altered dominants and chromatic minor chords.
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced) – This standard requires a solid grasp of modal interchange, tritone substitution, and specific scale applications over unique dominant voicings.
