Harmonic Highlights:

  • The progression Fm7 - Bb7 - Ebmaj7 establishes a temporary tonicization of Eb major (bVI), contrasting with the G minor home key.
  • A key feature is the Dbmaj7 (bIImaj7) acting as a chromatic resolution to G minor, often following an Am7b5 - D7#9 minor ii-V.
  • Cyclical Am7b5 - D7#9 - Gm7 progressions clearly establish the G minor tonality, providing grounding amidst the harmonic detours.
  • The A7 - Dm7 movement introduces a V/v relationship, expanding the harmonic palette by targeting the minor dominant.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating chromatic harmony and altered dominant scales, particularly over the bIImaj7 chord and temporary modulations.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). Requires a strong understanding of both functional harmony and advanced chromaticism, including temporary modulations.
