Harmonic Highlights:

  • The prominent ii-V-i progression Em7b5, A7b9, Dm7 establishes a strong tonicization of the subdominant minor (Dm).
  • Strategic use of Bb7 as a tritone substitution for A minor’s dominant (E7), providing a sophisticated approach to the tonic Am7.
  • Frequent, rapid modulations are evident through multiple ii-V progressions, such as F#m7, B7 (to E) and F#m7, B7, Gmaj7 (to G).
  • Chromaticism and reharmonization are introduced by the unusual Emaj7 and various diminished chords like F07 and G07.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating precise arpeggios and chord-scales that align with each rapidly changing harmonic center.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced). The frequent, non-diatonic modulations and sophisticated reharmonizations demand precise chord-scale application and advanced harmonic understanding.
