Harmonic Highlights:
- The progression frequently features the foundational I-vi-ii-V (Gmaj7-Em7-Am7-D7) cycle, providing clear harmonic rhythm.
- Incorporation of the IVmaj7 (Cmaj7) demonstrates classic Tin Pan Alley influence within the G major tonality.
- A compelling chromatic descending bass line (Em-Em/D#-Em/D-A7/C#) introduces sophisticated voice leading and tension.
- The A7 functions as a V7/V (V7 of D7), effectively setting up the dominant chord.
Improvisation Focus: G Major scale and its diatonic modes.
Difficulty Rating: 2 (Beginner-Intermediate). The harmony is largely diatonic and based on common jazz progressions, making it accessible for developing improvisers despite some chromaticism.
