This is a great way to learn new scales and chords. Enjoy as you would any jazz record and let your ears get accustomed to exciting new scales. The tunes are fresh and the chord progressions are not the usual found in standard songs. The songs include Picadilly Lilly which is a straight-ahead tune with a mixture of quick root movements and stable pedal points. A very Coltrane-flavored song is Slumber.
Oasis is a major altered blues.
Four scales are used in Loft Dance and the tempo is brisk. Brite Piece incorporates major, lydian and lydian dominant scales. Bonnie's Blue is a straight-ahead blues with some harmonic variation. Tomorrow's Expectations is a very contemporary ballad in its use of some uncommon harmonic movements mixed with more unusual chord progressions. These songs are not typical bebop tunes.
