Harmonic Highlights
- Predominant use of Maj7#11 chords (e.g., Abmaj7#11, Gbmaj7#11, Dmaj7#11), strongly suggesting a Lydian modal focus for individual chords rather than traditional diatonic functions.
- Highly chromatic and non-functional root movement, traversing distant keys (C, Ab, Gb, D, E, B) without clear tonal centers, creating a rich, coloristic soundscape.
- Frequent use of slash chords (e.g., Cmaj7/G, Abmaj7#11/G, Bmaj7/Bb) for specific bass lines or pedal tones, often maintaining a common bass note over changing harmony.
- Interspersed dominant 7th chords (Bb7, F7, G7sus) provide moments of tension and potential resolution, but their context remains largely non-functional within the broader chromatic framework.
Improvisation Focus Lydian modes and their extensions are crucial for navigating the prevalent Maj7#11 sonorities.
Difficulty Rating 5 (Advanced) - The piece features complex, non-functional harmony, frequent modulations, and specific voicings requiring a sophisticated understanding of contemporary jazz theory.
