  • Features a rapid sequence of descending ii-V progressions (e.g., Bbm7-Eb7, Abm7-Db7), creating successive temporary tonicizations.
  • The use of B7#11 functions as a Lydian dominant, leading to the ii-V of IV (F#m7-B7), adding distinct harmonic color and tension.
  • The extended phrase of F#m7-B7 establishes a prolonged focus on the subdominant region (E major) within the primary B major key center.

Improvisation Focus: Chord-scale application, precisely navigating the rapid modulations and specific alterations (e.g., Lydian Dominant for #11 chords).

Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced). The complex, non-diatonic ii-V sequences and specific altered dominant voicings require sophisticated harmonic understanding.
