Harmonic Highlights

  • Executes a Minor Bird Blues framework, substituting standard blues changes with dense, repetitive minor ii-V-i cells (Cm7b5-F7b9-Bbm6).
  • Utilizes a secondary ii-V sequence (Fm7b5 - Bb7b9) to pivot toward the subdominant (Ebm7), increasing harmonic movement within the blues form.
  • Incorporates a chromatic ii-V (Em7b5 - Ab7b9) that resolves to the relative major (Dbmaj7), creating a temporary shift in tonal center before returning to the tonic.

Improvisation Focus Bb Melodic Minor and the Altered Dominant scale.

Difficulty Rating 4/5; the rapid succession of minor ii-V-i progressions and shifting modal centers demands high-level technical facility and harmonic navigation at bebop tempos.
