Summer Mood

Categories: Modal, Bossa
Description: Summer Mood was written as a workout tune on some Dorian modes. Instead of the familiar IIm7 to V7 progression I use something similar, a IIm7 to IIm6 progression. In this progression the root note stays the same instead of moving up a 4th.
​Medium slow bossa, tempo = 100bpm, 16-bar form. From the album 
Summer Mood.
