Harmonic Highlights:
- Extensive use of dominant 7th chords, including secondary dominants and a bVII7 (Ab7), creating a lively harmonic rhythm that pushes beyond a basic blues form.
- The
D7 - Ab7progression offers a distinctive color, whereD7(V/vi) is followed byAb7(bVII7), preceding a strongG7-C7-F7cycle of dominants back to the tonic. - The bridge employs an
Eb7(IV7) followed by anE07(diminished 7th) resolving toBb7, featuring a classic passing diminished sonority.
Improvisation Focus: Mixolydian scales over the numerous dominant chords, strongly emphasizing dominant vocabulary and resolutions.
Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate). The rapid succession of dominant 7th chords and non-diatonic resolutions requires a solid grasp of secondary dominant functions and agile navigation.
