Harmonic Highlights:

  • Prominent use of the IVmaj7-V7-Imaj7 progression (Dbmaj7-Eb7-Abmaj7) establishing the home key.
  • Features clear secondary dominants, such as F7 (V7/ii) leading to Bbm7, and C7 (V7/F) initiating a temporary tonicization of F major.
  • Includes a full ii-V-I progression (Gm7-C7-Fmaj7) to the relative minor’s parallel major, adding harmonic color.
  • Employs a ii-V (Ebm7-Ab7) resolving to the IV chord, enhancing subdominant motion.

Improvisation Focus: Chord tones and arpeggios to outline each rapid chord change.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate). The tune features a mix of diatonic harmony, secondary dominants, and temporary modulations that require precise harmonic understanding.
