- Initial shift from Imaj7 to a ii-V in Db (Ebm7-Ab7) functions as a modal interchange, moving from Eb major to the parallel subdominant minor.
- Sequential ii-V chains (Abm7-Db7 and F#m7-B7) utilize “back-door” resolutions and chromatic side-slipping to create temporary tension.
- Rapid turnaround cycles (Fm7-Bb7 to Ebmaj7) alternate with non-diatonic cycles, requiring precise navigation of the ii-V-I cadence in the home key of Eb Major.
Improvisation Focus Mastering guide-tone connections through descending ii-V sequences and navigating the parallel major-to-minor shifts.
Difficulty Rating 3/5; the structure requires proficiency in tracking fast-moving ii-V modulations and managing frequent tonal shifts at typical bebop tempos.
