A useful chord… minor seventh flat five… sometimes called "half diminished". (The minor seventh flat five chord may be notated as: Ø )
This moves from the minor seventh flat five sound to the dominant seventh flat nine with ease. At [2] you can start to put your altissimo into use! Listen carefully to how I shaped the harmony on the dominant seventh flat nine chord.
Try this with a modern Cannonball Adderley type concept. Just play it, and "lay back on the time", and make it sound funky and modern.
