Harmonic Highlights:

  • Extensive tonicization via ii-V-I movements to distantly related keys, exemplified by Bm7-E7-Amaj7 and Bbm7-Eb7-Abmaj7.
  • Prominent use of altered dominant chords like Bb7#5, A7b13, and C7b13, creating strong leading-tone tension.
  • The Bbm6 leading to C7b13 (ivm6-V7b13) provides a sophisticated subdominant approach to the tonic V7.
  • A significant chromatic shift from Fm7 through Db7 before resolving or moving to Bbmaj7, showcasing non-diatonic movement.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating rapid modulations and altered dominants using a comprehensive chord-scale approach.

Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced) due to numerous distant modulations and sophisticated altered harmony, demanding agile harmonic understanding.
