Harmonic Highlights:

  • Frequent tonicization of the relative major (Fmaj7) via ii-V-I progressions (Gm7-C7).
  • Extensive use of secondary dominant chords with altered extensions (G7#11, D7b9, A7b9) to briefly tonicize various key areas.
  • Prominent application of tritone substitution (Gbmaj7 often substituting for C7) creating rich chromatic color, resolving to Fmaj7.
  • Seamless blend of traditional minor ii-V-i progressions (Am7b5-D7b9 to Gm, Gm7-A7b9 to Dm) with major key harmonic movements.

Improvisation Focus: Chord-scale application, particularly for altered dominant and tritone substitution harmonies.

Difficulty Rating: 4. Its frequent modulations, altered dominants, and tritone substitutions demand precise harmonic navigation and advanced melodic vocabulary.
