  • Harmonic Highlights:

    • Initial Ebmaj7 establishes a prominent chromatic mediant (bVImaj7) relationship to the G major tonic, immediately setting a non-diatonic tone.
    • Frequent deployment of altered dominant chords (e.g., A7#5, G7#5), often used for their coloristic properties rather than strict functional resolution.
    • Clear, temporary tonicization of distant keys, evidenced by the Fm7-Bb7-Ebmaj7 II-V-I progression.
    • Juxtaposition of diatonic II-V-I segments (Am7-D7-Gmaj7) with abrupt, non-functional chromatic shifts and altered dominants.
  • Improvisation Focus: Navigating temporary modulations and utilizing altered dominant scales (Super Locrian) and arpeggios.

  • Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced). The rapid shifts between diatonic and highly chromatic harmony, coupled with frequent altered dominants, demands sophisticated harmonic understanding and ear training.
