- Features a recurring II-V-i in C minor that utilizes a dominant II chord (D7) instead of the traditional half-diminished ii, creating a brighter secondary dominant (V/V) resolution.
- Incorporates a sudden modulation to Ab major via a Bbm7-Eb7 progression, followed by a Db7 (subV/I) that functions as a chromatic bridge back to the tonic center.
- Employs the Cm(maj7) as a stable tonic arrival point, establishing a sophisticated, dissonant harmonic palette characteristic of Bill Evans’ Melodic Minor usage.
Improvisation Focus C Melodic Minor scale and its derivative modes (Altered and Lydian Dominant).
Difficulty Rating 4/5 — The rapid transition between the C minor tonic and the temporary Ab major center, combined with the specific tensions of minor-major chords, requires advanced harmonic navigation.
