A jazz head comprised of altered V-I cadences moving up in 4ths, using the raised 4th/11th as the altered note. They can be played as polychords (A/G, D/C, etc.) in a group situation, where the keyboards play the bottom triad and guitars play the top triad. Chord scales would be Lydian and Lyxian (a hybrid of Lydian and Mixolydian), or pentatonics.  Play at Musecore AI version, almost how it would sound with horns, I can't attest if it's following the changes, but the piece is such that attempting to play it might sound interesting, focusing on the what's in front of the slash, while the bass plays what's behind it--maybe the fifth
