    honestly 4:14 just makes you smile, seeing the guys dancing having a great time, their bandmate trying to play and look at the same time. it's like they joked about doing that move three minutes before the set and were like 'shall we do it?' 'yep lets do it.'

    If it's at 4:18, the chord progression is ||: F#m9, B7alt (#9, #5) | Em9, A7alt (b9, b13) | Dm9, G9, Dbsus9 (the tritone substitution of G) | CM7, F13 | (Then 1/2 tone lower) | Fm9, Bb13 | EbM9, Absus13 | Gsus13, G9 | CM7, F13 :||

      Lol, I made it complicated to read though! It definitely can be simplified, as it make it easier to read, shame on my 4years ago self. ;)
      First off, jazz musicians traditionally avoid to play the 5th of a chord (because it doesn't add much "colours"), so you can forget all those "omit 5" from my previous comment. Then, all the extensions (9, 11, 13) can be simplified by only writing "alt" next to the basic structure of the chords, people will find the right extensions by themselves...
      Having this in mind, the chord chart becomes: || F#m9 / B7alt | Em9 / A7alt | Dm9 / G7 | CM7 / F9 || Fm9 / Bb7alt | EbM9 / Absus13 (basically, a GbM7 on a Ab as a root) | Gsus13 / G9 | CM7 / F9 ||
      The details about the exact extensions are in my other comment. It's all about finding the right voicings (ie. the most comfy to play) and, of course, the II-V-I.
