Harmonic Highlights

  • Prominent use of the relative major (Ebmaj7) as a temporary tonal center, often reached via a ii-V progression (Fm7-Bb9-Ebmaj7).
  • Application of secondary ii-V changes targeting the dominant (v) chord, such as Am7-D7 leading to Gm7.
  • Inclusion of chromatic passing harmonies like Abm6 resolving to Gm7, adding color and smooth voice leading.
  • Clear establishment of the C minor tonic through a definitive iiø7-V7alt-i progression (Dm7b5-G7#5-Cm7).

Improvisation Focus C melodic minor scale due to common minor key practices and altered dominant chords.

Difficulty Rating 3 (Intermediate). Requires familiarity with secondary dominants, modal interchange, and altered scales for effective navigation.
