Donny Hathaway Style 4

Progression: Bbmaj9 — Cm9 — Dm7 — Ebmaj9

This is a sophisticated 4-bar MIDI loop designed for Acoustic Piano or Rhodes. It captures the essence of a "church-to-soul" transition, characterized by a smooth, diatonic climb in Bb Major. Unlike traditional loops that resolve downward, this progression creates a sense of "lifting" or opening up as it ascends the scale.


The Progression

The sequence follows an ascending diatonic path within the key of Bb Major:

Bar Chord Harmonic Function Root Note
Bar 1 $Bbmaj9$ I (Tonic) – The Home Base Bb
Bar 2 $Cm9$ ii (Supertonic) – The First Step Up C
Bar 3 $Dm7$ / $D7$ iii (Mediant) – Increasing Tension D
Bar 4 $Ebmaj9$ IV (Subdominant) – The "Lifted" Resolution Eb
