- Utilizes a classic i - iiø7 - V7(b9) turnaround in F minor, emphasizing the minor-sixth interval (Db) for harmonic tension.
- Incorporates a stepwise bass line (Fm - Gm7b5 - Fm/Ab - Bbm6) to create linear motion and voice-leading through the tonic minor.
- Features a rapid II-V transition to the subdominant Eb Major (Bb7#9 to Ebmaj7), executing a common bebop chromatic tonal shift.
- Employs Bbm6 (subdominant minor) to reinforce the traditional “minor iv” function, providing a bridge between tonic and dominant structures.
Improvisation Focus The F Minor Bebop Scale, integrating chromatic passing tones between the 5th and 6th degrees for rhythmic alignment.
Difficulty Rating 4/5: The high tempo and rapid shifts between minor and major tonal centers demand advanced technical facility and harmonic navigation.
