Harmonic Highlights:

  • Frequent tonicization of the relative minor (G minor) via prominent Am7b5-D7b9-Gm7 progressions.
  • Employs a tritone substitution (Gb7 for C7) leading into a ii-V-I in Eb major (Gb7-Fm7-Bb7-Ebmaj7).
  • Navigates fluidly between the home key of Bb major, its relative minor G minor, and the subdominant key Eb major.

Improvisation Focus: Altered Scale (Super Locrian) over dominant chords.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). The frequent minor ii-V-I progressions and sophisticated dominant alterations demand a strong grasp of harmonic functions and scale applications.
