  • Opens with a sophisticated parallel minor progression (Ebm family) before establishing the Eb major tonic, setting a unique mood.
  • Features an altered dominant (Bb7b13), providing a specific color and tension before resolving to Ebmaj7.
  • Employs a classic backdoor ii-V (Abm7-Db7) resolving to Eb6, offering a smooth, non-diatonic tonic arrival.
  • Includes a chromatic diminished chord (Gb07), indicating passing motion or an implied V7b9 functionality.

Improvisation Focus: Melodic Minor and its modes.

Difficulty Rating: 4/5. Its blend of parallel minor, altered dominants, and backdoor ii-Vs demands harmonic versatility beyond standard diatonic approaches.
