Harmonic Highlights:

  • The tune frequently oscillates between the relative major (Ebmaj7) as a tonal anchor and temporary modulations.
  • Features a series of rapid ii-V progressions, such as Am7-D7, Gm7-C7, and Fm7-Bb7, which resolve to diverse key centers.
  • The Am7-D7 functions as a ii-V of G major, the dominant of the overall C minor key, adding sophisticated harmonic anticipation.
  • Strong reliance on dominant 7th chords and their related ii minors for driving harmonic tension and forward motion.

Improvisation Focus: Bebop scales (Major and Dominant Bebop) for precisely outlining the rapid, modulating ii-V-I progressions.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced). The frequent, rapid modulations via ii-V progressions and sophisticated substitutions demand strong harmonic comprehension and technical facility.
