Let's take this composition by Scofield to analyze improvisation with arpeggios and modes in a context other than the common II-V-I.
Start for each chord from a common neighboring note or close note compatible with the following chord. From this note we can be built the appropriate type of arpeggio or mode. This simplifies the finding of some reference points but it could make the definition vague or incorrect (e.g. playing a dorian mode on a fifth degree is not a right wording), but let's keep the advantage keeping in mind the harmonic sense.

OT: This song reminds me of 1986 "Rule of Thumb" 1986 due the chromatic bass, great composition.
