Harmonic Highlights
- Non-functional chromatic shifts, such as the Am-E7-Fmaj7 progression, create distinctive side-stepping motions that defy typical dominant-tonic resolutions.
- Frequent use of Major7#11 chords (Fmaj7, Bbmaj7#11) and altered dominants (Eb7#9) introduces rich Lydian and exotic altered colors.
- Juxtaposition of strong functional ii-V-I progressions in E major with distant chromatic excursions (e.g., Bbmaj7#11, Eb7#9) defines its complex harmonic language.
- Open, suspended voicings via slash chords (E/C, C/D, G/D) contribute to a floating, less dense harmonic texture.
Improvisation Focus The Melodic Minor Scale and its modes.
Difficulty Rating 5 (Advanced). The blend of functional harmony with highly chromatic, non-functional movements demands sophisticated melodic and harmonic navigation.
