- Uses “constant structure” relationships, such as the major 7th shift from Fmaj7 to Amaj7, bypassing traditional functional expectations.
- Employs non-resolving ii-V chains (Bbm7-Eb7, Am7-D7) that create harmonic suspension rather than standard dominant tension.
- Incorporates Lydian Dominant colors (Bb7#11, Eb7#11) as static tonicized sonorities rather than functional chords.
- Features rapid, distal modulations, frequently pivoting between Bb major and D major areas via chromatic ii-V movements.
Improvisation Focus Motivic development and common-tone connectivity across shifting modal centers.
Difficulty Rating 4/5 — The lack of traditional functional resolutions and the rapid modulation between distant keys require advanced harmonic fluency and ear training.
