- Employs extended tonic prolongation through alternating Cm7 and G7b9, establishing a dense hard-bop atmosphere.
- Utilizes secondary dominants (C7b13) to pivot to the subdominant Fm7, temporarily tonicizing the iv chord.
- Features a prominent chromatic side-slipping ii-V sequence (Dm7–G7 to Ebm7–Ab7), creating sophisticated upward harmonic tension.
Improvisation Focus The C Melodic Minor scale is the primary tool for navigating the tonic stability while handling the altered tensions on the dominant chords.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: The tune is accessible due to its minor blues-adjacent framework, but the chromatic ii-V sequences require precise scalar shifts and intermediate harmonic control.
