  • Prominent V7-IV motion (C7-Bbmaj7) before resolving to the tonic.
  • Application of the IVmaj7-ivm7-Imaj7 cadence (Bbmaj7-Bbm7-Fmaj7) provides a sophisticated tonic resolution.
  • Use of secondary dominant function (F7 as V7/IV) and a longer dominant chain (A7-Dm7-G7-C7) builds harmonic tension.

Improvisation Focus: Mixolydian scale application over dominant 7th chords.

Difficulty Rating: 4. The frequent use of secondary dominants, the ivm7 chord, and longer dominant cycles requires a solid understanding of jazz harmony beyond basic diatonicism.
