  • The Ab07 serves as a common passing diminished (e.g., vii°7/ii) to Am7, adding chromatic embellishment to the I-ii-V.
  • G7-Cmaj7 provides a classic V7/IV to IV tonicization, momentarily highlighting the subdominant.
  • Cm6 introduces modal interchange as a iv minor, lending a distinctive bluesy-melancholic color.
  • The E6, A7, C#m7, B6 sequence demonstrates sophisticated tonicizations (e.g., A7 as V7/D, C#m7-B6 as ii-I in B), demanding fluid navigation of temporary key centers.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating temporary tonicizations and modulatory shifts.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced) The frequent and complex modulatory shifts and non-diatonic chord choices require a strong grasp of harmonic function and flexible scale application beyond simple diatonicism.
