Harmonic Highlights:

  • The prominent bVII7 (Eb7) appearing before V7 (C7) creates a non-functional dominant movement, adding chromatic color before the tonic dominant.
  • Standard jazz harmonic devices include a I7-IVmaj7 progression (F7-Bbmaj7) and the classic iii-VI-ii-V-I turnaround (Am7-D7-Gm7-C7).
  • A brief tonicization of Am (iii chord) occurs via a ii-V-i progression (Bm7-E7-Am7), introducing a temporary shift in tonal center.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating altered scales and arpeggios over the diverse dominant chord qualities and transient tonicizations.

Difficulty Rating: 4 The combination of functional harmony with unexpected chromaticism and modulations demands advanced harmonic understanding and scale application.
