Harmonic Highlights:

  • Features a prominent V7-I7 (F7-Bb7) progression in Bb major, imbuing a strong blues and gospel character rather than a simple V-I resolution.
  • Incorporates standard ii-V progressions (Gm7-C7, Am7-D7) that provide conventional functional harmony within the blues-infused framework.
  • The Am7-D7-Gm7-C7 sequence introduces a ii-V in G minor followed by a ii-V in F, demonstrating a blend of minor and major functional harmony within the form.

Improvisation Focus: Bb Mixolydian scale, adapting to the dominant-tonic shifts and underlying blues feel.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate). The blend of blues V7-I7 cycles with standard ii-V changes requires an understanding of both modal and functional improvisation.
