  • Frequent dominant 7th chords establish a strong blues-inflected F major tonality.
  • Prominent ii-V-I progressions, like Am7-D7-Gm7-C7-F7, drive harmonic motion through a cycle of fifths.
  • The characteristic #IVø7 (Bø7) functions as a passing diminished or substitute, adding bebop chromaticism (e.g., Bb7 - Bø7 - F7).

Improvisation Focus: Navigating ii-V-I progressions and dominant 7th chords with bebop scales and arpeggios.

Difficulty Rating: 4/5. It demands a strong command of bebop vocabulary, rapid chord-tone outlining, and comfort with fast tempi.
