How strange, the change, from major to minor

I’ve always been fascinated by Joe Zawinul’s solo at the end of the version on Bitches Brew. A joyous desperation of major over minor

This is great, love the way you closed by taking us back to the nonet!

Does "Petits Machins" from FILLES fit in? Miles's solo plays with major and minor thirds -- but not sure how to read it against what the rhythm section is doing.

Yes, I think so. I mentioned it above. The melody itself has minor third and major third and I think Herbie is playing #9 chords too.
