  • Harmonic Highlights:
    • Extensive use of secondary ii-V progressions, particularly to vi (Am7b5-D7b9) and V (Gm7-C7b9).
    • Frequent altered dominant chords (D7b9, D7b13, C7b9) enhance harmonic tension and color.
    • The Gb07 functions as a chromatic diminished chord, providing a brief but impactful passing tension.
    • Brief tonicization of the IV chord (Eb) via its ii-V (Fm7-Bb7).
  • Improvisation Focus: Altered Scale
  • Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). Frequent secondary ii-V changes and altered dominant chords require an advanced understanding of harmonic implications.
