- Employs frequent secondary ii-V patterns, specifically the ii-V of IV (Cm7-F7) to transition into the subdominant section.
- Features a classic backdoor dominant resolution (Bbmaj7 to Eb9) resolving to the iii-7 (Am7) rather than the tonic.
- Utilizes minor ii-V motion (Em7b5-A7b9) to tonicize the relative minor (Dm7), providing harmonic contrast to the otherwise major-diatonic landscape.
Improvisation Focus F Major Bebop scale, incorporating D Melodic Minor over the A7b9 to highlight altered tensions.
Difficulty Rating 2; the progression relies on standard functional harmony and predictable ii-V-I patterns, making it highly accessible for intermediate improvisers.
