- Establishes a foundational II-V-I progression in Eb major (Fm7-Bb7-Ebmaj7) as its primary harmonic identifier.
- Features a linear descending bass line, such as Ebmaj7 - Ebmaj7/D - Cm7 - Cm7/Bb, adding smooth voice leading and melodic interest.
- Incorporates striking modal interchange with the use of Abm/maj7 (bIVm/maj7), providing a unique melancholic and chromatic color.
- Utilizes secondary ii-V progressions (e.g., Gm7-C7) to briefly explore related key areas before returning to the tonic.
Improvisation Focus: Chord-scale theory, emphasizing Eb major modes and adapting to chromatic alterations, particularly with melodic minor over modal interchange chords.
Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced) The blend of standard II-V-I progressions with complex modal interchange and secondary dominants requires advanced harmonic understanding for fluent improvisation.
