==Musical characteristics==<br />
<br />
"Un Poco Loco" is in [[Thirty-two-bar form|thirty-two bar form]].<ref name="listener's guide" /> It uses the lydian scale, incorporating chords overlapping chords to imply a [[polytonality]] (D [[Major seventh chord|major 7]] over C major 7: CEGBDF#AC#) with the improvisation based on an alternating polytonality and an [[altered dominant]] chord. Particularly remarkable to jazz musicians is the placement of C# against a C major 7 chord; [[James Weidman]] attributed this to bitonality, while [[Tardo Hammer]] attributed it to an extension of the [[circle of fifths]].<ref>DeMotta, David J.

==Legacy==<br />
In the late 1980s, literary and cultural critic [[Harold Bloom]] included "Un Poco Loco" in his list of the most "sublime" works of twentieth-century American art (from his introduction to ''Modern Critical Interpretations: Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow'').<ref name="Nica's Dream">{{cite book |last1=Kastin |first1=David |title=Nica's Dream |date=2011 |publisher=W.
