Harmonic Highlights:

  • Striking use of Gb7 (bVI7) as a chromatic dominant substitution, providing an unexpected, non-diatonic harmonic shift.
  • Clear tonicization of the subdominant (Eb major) via a strong ii-V-I progression (Fm7-Bb7-Ebmaj7).
  • Secondary dominant C7 (V7/F) leads effectively to the dominant F7, often intensified with an altered #5 extension.
  • Blues-inflected Eb7 (IV7) briefly colors the tonic Bb6, introducing a dominant quality to the subdominant.

Improvisation Focus: Mixolydian and Altered scales for navigating diverse dominant chord functions.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate) due to frequent modulations, chromatic dominant substitutions, and rapid harmonic rhythm.
