What does this remind you of, musically (based on _hearing_ it)?

This music that is presented here is based upon (the basic harmonic structure of) (what is, in essence, just) 
two (2) Major-seventh chords (in left hand):
E Major 7th --> D Maj. 7  : || 

With my right hand, I play other chord (voicings) on top of the l.h. chords. 

See the same sequence played, an octave lower, and at a lower tempo on YouTube where you can -see- an on-screen piano keyboard (actually two!) to know which pitches are played (sounding):

"samba chords"

This video (and audio) serves as a demo of what is a collection of compositional fragments, ideas, bits, harmonic ideas. How should this music be developed and used? A female singer one top might be nice.

I realised, a year ago, when hearing the end of "A Remark You Made" by Joe Zawinul , that he used two Maj.7th chords (a whole step / M2nd apart like that, first higher , followed by the lower chord) as the basis for the last compositional segment in that composition/track,  over which Joseph soloed in his Arp synth. 

At the end of this recording here, I play (more rubato, removed from the Samba rhythm) more in a Bop style and use monophonic lines in the right hand that are basically pentatonic scale (ascending).

"Casa Forte" by Edu Lobo. My piano arrangement involves stacking 7th chords (stacking harmonic intervals of thirds) - whose root notes(pitches) are whole steps (M2nds) apart.

"Casa Forte" piano lab take 2

I start off with a bass / harmonic structure of 
E to  (both F and/or D) 
In other words, up a semi-tone/half-step (m2nd) from the tonic home starting key/root.

Later on, I illustrate the connection between that pattern/structure , and that of a slightly-different variation : 
instead of up a mere semi-tone, I go up a _whole_ tone/step (Major-2nd harmonic interval). That is the harmonic structure that is used in  ___  (McCoy Tyner voiced chords like that)

The chord voicings played by my right hand involve stacking compound thirds / seventh chords.

( I did not edit any of the MIDI data after the performance was recorded. No alterations were made to any MIDI note events / messages . )

I recorded a MIDI sequence of my playing (Technics PR50V keyboard) 
in _D_ dorian mode.  I draw on several arrangement bits/ideas.

I then rendered the waveform by importing the MIDI sequence into MuLab (DAW) and playing it back with .sfz of "ff" samples from University of Iowa's Steinway (thanks to Anthony Deaton).

The only alteration of the original MIDI events (performance / sequence)  was doubling the last half and transposing it down seven semi-tones/half-steps (down a Perfect-Fifth  P5) so that it would be in | D |  dorian,  and no longer A dorian (which I suspected).  Sergio Mendes Osaka Japan 1970 Expo credit for that arrangement, albeit transposed.
