- Employs a chromatic ascending passage (Bbmaj7–Cm7–C#o7–Dm7) using a #iio7 diminished chord as a functional bridge between the ii and iii.
- Features secondary dominant chains (G7#9–C7–F7) that create a strong circular motion toward the tonic, characteristic of rhythm changes.
- Incorporates a temporary modulation to the IV chord (Eb) via a secondary dominant (Bb7), followed by an Eo7 passing diminished chord back to the Bb/F.
- Utilizes a ii-V of VI (Am7–D7 to G7), momentarily shifting the tonal center to the relative minor’s dominant.
Improvisation Focus Bb Major Bebop scale combined with chord tone arpeggiation for passing diminished sections.
Difficulty Rating 3 (Intermediate): Navigating the rapid succession of secondary dominants and passing diminished chords requires fluid voice leading and firm knowledge of bebop vocabulary.
