Harmonic Highlights:
- The piece frequently employs Fmaj7 at the tonic position, suggesting a bright ‘minor’ tonality through modal mixture or a bebop major-on-minor approach.
- Features pronounced ii-V-I modulations to remote key centers, exemplified by Abm7-Db7-Gbmaj7 (ii-V-I in Gb Major).
- Incorporates tritone substitutions (e.g., Ab7 leading to Gm7) and unexpected chromatic ii-V movements (Bm7-E7) that challenge traditional voice leading.
Improvisation Focus: Chord Tone Soloing
Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced) – The frequent and distant modulations coupled with a sophisticated harmonic rhythm require mastery of complex key relationships.
