On a cold January night, coming up with turnarounds and licks I could use.

You would have to do this kind of intro using one and five chord. Use it as there are 4 licks built in that you could use in other tunes. Let's face it, every song has a one and five chord.

Miles Davis' "So What" doesn't have a V... arguably not even a I (being looked at Dorian IIm modulated to IIIbm.
I find that there is a good number of songs which have only a "virtual" I Key center (when you assume one of the Dom7th's as the "V")

But you're right. Love yer sample!... J-D.

I saw recent masterclass where someone asked Peter Bernstein what to play over a tune like "So What' that stays on one chord for a long time. His response was he plays the 5 chord. He suggested adding the V to give the tune motion and give you something to play over. He said (I'm paraphrasing) that you should always look for ways to add motion to comping or blowing over changes. In the case of "So What" the V chord is A7, the 5th of the Dm.

Intersting idea.
I looked into it because my kid (10years old) who's learning piano (since about a year) dragged the song into the room. I looked it up on youtube and "we" learned it.
It's been his first "improvisation" tune... in D... all the "white keys work" (I HATE that "all this & that" works!) "D-Dorian" we are told (and So What?), and I must admit most of the solos ingredients are right there... it get's even spookier in the # modulated part... All Black Keys (yeah, they matter too, Ha!) work. I don't know if that's why they chose the particular key or what.
Evidently on the Steel Guitar, we are not blinded by "white" a and "black" keys... we just nudge that bar over a little "et voilá!", as the French say.

I'll try playing the Vdom7th over it today... J-D

... J-D.
