  • Prominent use of the bVII7 chord (Db7), often resolving as a backdoor dominant to Ebmaj7, frequently featuring a #11.
  • A distinct ii-V-I modulation to the subdominant, Ab major (Bbm7-Eb7-Abmaj7).
  • Integration of the highly chromatic B7#9, indicating complex tritone substitution or an altered dominant leading to a distant key.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating dominant substitutions and applying altered scales.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). The blend of diatonicism with sophisticated chromaticism and unusual dominant alterations demands a strong harmonic understanding.
