  • Establishes Ab major through frequent, foundational ii-V-I progressions (Bbm7-Eb7-Abmaj7).
  • Features an abrupt, non-diatonic modulation from Abmaj7 to Cmaj7, a major third relationship.
  • Utilizes a Db9#11 chord (tritone substitution for G7) resolving to Cmaj7, reinforcing the temporary tonicization of C.
  • Contrasts the C major section with a return to the Ab major ii-V-I framework, creating harmonic tension and release.

Improvisation Focus: Adapting to sudden, non-diatonic tonicizations.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate) While the primary ii-V-I structure is straightforward, the abrupt, non-diatonic modulation to C major and its subsequent resolution demands attentive harmonic navigation.
