Harmonic Highlights

  • The Db07 chord (bIIIdim7) consistently functions as a substitute for G7b9 (V7b9/ii), introducing chromatic tension before resolving to Cm7.
  • An unexpected Eb7 (bIII7) progression to Dm7 (iii) introduces a momentary non-functional dominant resolution, challenging diatonic expectations.
  • The recurring F7sus4 resolving to F7 provides a classic Vsus-V motion, enhancing the dominant pull to Bbmaj7.

Improvisation Focus Diminished scale application over the Db07 chord.

Difficulty Rating 4 (Upper Intermediate) due to the frequent chromatic diminished chords and non-standard dominant resolutions requiring specific scale choices and harmonic foresight.
