It's used commonly in both Jazz and Neo Soul, but you'll really hear it used in an absolutely gorgeous way in modern Neo Soul-Inspired tracks that cross genres as well. A really important part of this sound is the dim(maj7) chord, i.e. a diminished triad with a major 7. The structure comes down to being built like a block chord, but with a major 7 instead of a 6. Use this over any melody or chord progression for a modern sound.

If I had to leave you with just one single secret to maximizing your progress for learning jazz improvisation and piano in general, it would be what we talk about in this tutorial. Mental practice is often overlooked, and there are so many different ways of practicing AWAY from the piano, or from your instrument.
