- The opening
Cm11(iii in Ab) followed byAbmaj7(I) establishes an ambiguous modal context with a non-traditional major third root movement. - A dramatic shift occurs with
Emaj7(bVI) leading to abii-V-IinDbmaj7(Ebm7-Ab7), demonstrating a sudden, distant modulation. - The sequence
Gm7, Gb7, Fm7, Bb7showcases chromatic voice leading and tritone substitution (Gb7for C7), creating a series of temporary harmonic destinations.
Improvisation Focus: Navigating rapid, non-diatonic modulations with precise chord-tone targeting and superimposing diverse modal/tonal colors.
Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced). The frequent, distant modulations and non-functional chord progressions require sophisticated harmonic awareness and fluid melodic adaptation.
