Harmonic Highlights

  • Prominent Ab7 (bII7 of ii) functions as a tritone substitute for D7 (V7/ii), adding a distinct chromatic dominant color.
  • Temporary dominant F7 acts as V7 of IV, momentarily tonicizing Bb.
  • The inclusion of Bbm (bIV minor) provides a characteristic minor plagal sound before returning to the tonic.
  • Secondary dominant A7 (V7/vi) leads effectively to Dm7, expanding the harmonic landscape.

Improvisation Focus Highlighting bII7 tritone substitutions (Ab7) and bIV minor colors (Bbm).

Difficulty Rating 3 (Intermediate). It incorporates chromatic tritone substitutions and minor plagal chords within a mostly diatonic framework, requiring specific scale knowledge.
