- Employs consecutive iiø7-V7b9 progressions (e.g., Am7b5-D7b9, Gm7b5-C7b9) often implying brief minor key centers or extended dominant functions.
- Features highly altered dominant chords like Bb7#5#9 and Bb13b9, introducing significant chromaticism and tension.
- Exhibits a characteristic Monkian interplay between F major and F minor tonalities, notably with the frequent appearance of Fm9.
- Utilizes repetitive iiø7-V7b9 figures (Cm7b5-F7b9) for rhythmic and harmonic emphasis, often functioning as extended turnarounds.
Improvisation Focus: The Altered Scale (Super Locrian) is crucial for navigating the numerous altered dominant 7b9 chords.
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate) - The consistent use of complex altered dominants and shifting minor implications requires sophisticated harmonic understanding.
