Harmonic Highlights:
- Frequent minor ii-V-i progressions (e.g.,
Bm7b5-E7b9-Am7,Am7b5-D7b9-Gm7) create strong temporary resolutions beyond the tonic. - Extensive chromaticism driven by non-diatonic dominants (
Ab7,Gb7) and altered dominants (E7b9,D7b9), employing tritone substitution principles. - Clear tonicization to Bb major (the IV chord) via a strong
Cm7-F7-Bbmaj7ii-V-I progression.
Improvisation Focus: Altered Scale (Super Locrian)
Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced) – The rapid, complex harmonic rhythm, frequent modulations, and extensive use of altered and non-diatonic dominants demand sophisticated improvisation skills.
