Harmonic Highlights:

  • Prominent use of ii-V-I progressions and secondary dominants (e.g., Em7-A7-Dm7, Dm7-G7-Cmaj7) establishes strong functional harmony.
  • A ii-V-I to the subdominant (Gm7-C7-Fmaj7) provides a clear temporary tonicization of F major.
  • The opening F7 after Cmaj7 acts as a distinctive dominant, often implying a Lydian dominant quality, setting an immediate harmonic departure.
  • The Bb7 chord (Fmaj7-Bb7-Em7) functions as a colorful bVII7, potentially a tritone substitute for E7, creating a surprising resolution to the iii chord.

Improvisation Focus: Arpeggio superimposition to outline the rapidly changing harmonic functions.

Difficulty Rating: 3 (Intermediate): The frequent modulations and non-diatonic dominants require agile harmonic awareness and advanced melodic strategies.
