Top > Understanding the  chord changes for Miles Davis' Four > What are the moves? > The Fmi7, also, has a double meaning, because it's also a very close relative of the EbMA7 that began the piece.
 
 The gory details
 All of the notes of Fm7 (F, Ab, C, Eb) are also part of the Eb major scale (Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb, C, and D), which sounds best when played with EbMA7.
 Because Fmi7 is the chord that is built on the second scale step of Eb Major, music theorists label Fmi7 as a ii mi7 chord in Eb Major.
