Harmonic Highlights:
- The progression frequently utilizes the V7/IV (Bb7) to smoothly transition to the IVmaj9 (Ebmaj9), creating a subdominant expansion.
- Multiple secondary dominants (D9 as V7/vi, C7 as V7/V) enhance forward motion and create temporary resolutions to the Gm7 and F7sus.
- The F7sus chord delays the final tonic resolution to Bb, adding a contemporary color to the V-I cadence.
Improvisation Focus: Mixolydian scales over the various dominant 7th chords.
Difficulty Rating: 3 - Intermediate. The frequent secondary dominants and the F7sus require a good understanding of functional harmony beyond basic diatonic scales.
