- Employs a chromatic side-slip via B7#11 (tritone substitute of F7) as a non-functional neighbor chord to the Bb tonic.
- Utilizes parallel stepwise motion (Cm7 - Dm7 - Ebm7) which introduces modal interchange before resolving back to the diatonic center.
- Features dense secondary dominant chains (G7, D7) and diminished passing tones (C#o7) to facilitate rapid transitions between Bb major and its relative minor, G minor.
Improvisation Focus Bebop scale integration and arpeggiated outlines over fast-moving ii-V-I cycles.
Difficulty Rating 4/5: The rapid harmonic rhythm and idiosyncratic chromatic shifts require advanced technical facility and a deep command of bebop vocabulary.
