- Replaces functional ii-V-I progressions with a static modal framework, alternating between D Dorian and Eb Dorian in a 32-bar AABA structure.
- Utilizes “So What” voicings—quartal structures built on three perfect fourths and a major third—to create an open, non-tonal texture.
- Employs a direct chromatic modulation, shifting the tonal center up a minor second without preparation to provide harmonic contrast.
Improvisation Focus The Dorian Mode (D Dorian and Eb Dorian).
Difficulty Rating 2 (Intermediate): The slow harmonic rhythm allows ample time to navigate scales, but the lack of chord changes demands high-level melodic and rhythmic development to sustain interest.
