  • Frequent use of the diatonic ii-V-I progression (Fm7-Bb7-Eb6) grounds the harmony in Eb major.
  • The C7b13 chord functions as an altered V/ii, creating tension before resolving to Fm7.
  • The F#07 diminished chord acts as a chromatic passing or substitute dominant, resolving to Gm7.
  • The Am7b5 indicates a secondary ii-V progression, typically targeting G minor (Am7b5-D7-Gm7).

Improvisation Focus: Mastery of altered dominant scales for V7 chords like C7b13.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced). The tune combines standard diatonic harmony with altered dominants, diminished chords, and implied modulations, requiring sophisticated harmonic navigation.
