- The Gm7/C to C7 sequence functions as an elongated dominant pedal (V11 to V7), delaying resolution to the F6 tonic.
- Use of G#o7 acts as a #Io7 chromatic passing chord, facilitating smooth voice leading between the ii (Gm7) and the I in first inversion (F/A).
- The descending dominant chain (E7#5 - Eb7 - D7) employs chromaticism and tritone substitution principles to target the ii chord (Gm7).
- Although identified in C, the provided sample demonstrates a clear I-IV-V functional framework in the key of F Major.
Improvisation Focus F Major Bebop Scale.
Difficulty Rating 2/5. The progression utilizes standard Great American Songbook voice leading and predictable ii-V-I resolutions.
