  • Harmonic Highlights:

    • Prominent chromatic descending motion from the iii chord (Em7 - Ebm7 - Dm7) before the G7, creating a distinctive harmonic color.
    • Frequent ii-V-I modulations to the subdominant (F major), establishing temporary tonal centers away from C major.
    • Incorporation of secondary dominants (e.g., E7 leading to Am) and a backdoor dominant (Bb7 resolving to Fmaj7), expanding harmonic possibilities.
  • Improvisation Focus: Navigating chromatic passing chords within standard ii-V-I progressions.

  • Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate) - The tune demands rapid adjustment for chromatic passing chords and frequent modulations, beyond basic ii-V-I proficiency.
