- Employs chromatic diminished motion (C#o7) as a secondary leading-tone chord to bridge the Imaj7 and the ii-V7 progression.
- Utilizes modal interchange via Dm7b5 and Fm6, borrowing the “minor subdominant” flavor from the parallel C minor scale.
- Features a standard IVmaj7 to iv6 movement (Fmaj7 to Fm6), creating a nostalgic pull toward the tonic’s dominant note.
Improvisation Focus Navigating the “Major to Minor” transition by targeting the b6 (Ab) over subdominant chords to outline the shift in tonality.
Difficulty Rating 2: The harmonic structure follows predictable functional patterns and standard voice-leading principles, making it an ideal study for intermediate jazz theory.
