- Frequent use of back-door dominant resolutions (Abm7-Db7) and chromatic tritone substitutions creates the lush, “Tadd Dameron” bebop arranging aesthetic.
- Sequential “side-slipping” ii-V progressions (Gm7-Gb7 or Gm7-F#m7-B7) challenge the performer to navigate rapidly descending tonal centers.
- The bridge shifts to G Major (the major III), utilizing sequential ii-Vs to provide a bright tonal contrast before cycling back to the home key.
- Complex turnaround structures (Am7-D7-Bm7-E7) utilize constant tonicization, requiring precise navigation of temporary key centers.
Improvisation Focus Voice leading through chromatic ii-V sequences using Bebop Dominant scales and Melodic Minor substitutions.
Difficulty Rating 4/5: The non-diatonic chord density and rapid modulations require advanced harmonic mapping and sophisticated melodic construction.
