Harmonic Highlights:

  • Features standard ii-V-I progressions (Gm7-C7-Fmaj7, Cm7-F7#5-Bbmaj7, Bbm7-Eb7#5) establishing clear tonal centers.
  • Employs altered dominant chords (F7#5, Eb7#5) for heightened tension and characteristic Bebop harmonic color.
  • Includes a prominent chromatic dominant approach (B7 leading to Bbmaj7), demonstrating advanced voice leading and tritone substitution principles.
  • The Fmaj7#11 chord highlights the Lydian mode over the tonic, providing a bright and expansive sound.

Improvisation Focus: Altered Scale over dominant chords.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate) - The frequent use of altered dominants, chromaticism, and modulations requires a sophisticated harmonic vocabulary.
