Harmonic Highlights:

  • Features a prominent i-bVI7-V7-i progression (Cm7-Ab7-G7-Cm7), establishing a characteristic minor jazz sound.
  • Incorporates a series of dominant 7th chords like C7-F7-Bb7, creating temporary tonicizations and hinting at blues harmonic language.
  • The C7 (I7) functions as a secondary dominant (V7/F) or a blues tonic, leading into a functional dominant cycle.

Improvisation Focus: C Harmonic Minor scale, particularly over the Cm7 and G7 chords, to emphasize the minor tonality and leading tone.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Upper Intermediate). The blend of minor key harmony with non-diatonic dominant chains and substitutions requires precise harmonic understanding.
