Certainly that move Ebm7 Ab7 Fm is not that common a resolution... You'd expect a Db, Eb or maybe a Bb chord there.
But as with Jobim, often just a touch of weirdness in an otherwise conventional tune is the thing that makes it.

Actually Tenderly has it:
| Eb | Ab7 | Ebm | Ab7 |
| Fm7 | Db7 | Eb | etc

Possibly Miles didn’t write Four anyway. Some claim it was composed by Eddie Cleanhead Vinson.

I’ll Remember April starts with four bars of a major chord.

Sometimes I forget that :
Am7 = Cmaj6
Am7 = Fmaj9 no root

One metric crapload of Maj7 in Charles Lloyd's landmark, "Forest Flower"
What a tune! What a band! Amazing to think that all four of them are still with us, and still with it, 50+ years later!
