- Utilization of the #I°7 (Ab°7) passing diminished chord to create a chromatic bridge between the tonic Fmaj7 and the ii-V (Gm7-C7) progression.
- Incorporation of a “backdoor” resolution using the bVII7 (Eb7) after the IV (Bbmaj7), providing a sophisticated subdominant minor flavor.
- The bridge employs a distinctive “line clichĂ©” over the iii chord (Am), featuring internal voice movement (Am to Amb6 to Am6) that shifts the melodic focus.
- Extensive use of secondary ii-V chains (Cm7–F7 leading to IV; Am7–D7b9 leading to ii) to create forward momentum within a standard AABA form.
Improvisation Focus Voice leading through the 3rds and 7ths of the secondary ii-V progressions.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: While the F major home key is stable, the frequent secondary dominants and bridge chromaticism require intermediate-level harmonic navigation.
