Working on a a jazz progression.

The song is key of E minor, and the beginning/"verse" is:

Emaj7 - D6 - Emaj7 - D6

and the beginning of my turnaround is:

Cmaj - Cmaj7 - D7 - D#7b5


I need to figure out a way to get back to Emaj7. I can't just go there, because D#7b5 resolves to an Emin7, not maj. Any ideas?




Here's one that I've been fooling with:
Cmaj - Cmaj7 - D7 - D#7b5 - Fmin7 - B13 - B b13 - Emin9 - Adom7 - Emaj7

Doesn't sound quite right, though.

I play the root of the chord as a bass line, with the chord played in between. Bass does a chromatic walk between the Emaj7 and D6.
