Harmonic Highlights:

  • The frequent use of G7 (V7/ii) and C7 (V7/V) as secondary dominants extends the diatonic harmony.
  • A clear minor ii-V-I progression (Em7b5-A7b9-Dm7) briefly tonicizes D minor.
  • The Db7 functions as a tritone substitution (SubV7) for G7, providing a chromatic dominant pull.

Improvisation Focus: Chord-scale theory applied to dominant functions (Mixolydian, altered scales).

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate) โ€“ It features common jazz vocabulary like secondary dominants, minor ii-V-I progressions, and a tritone substitution, requiring a broader harmonic understanding than basic diatonic playing.
