- Secondary Dominant Chain: Utilizes a VI7-II7-V7-I7 sequence (G7-C7-F7-Bb7) to drive forward momentum via the cycle of fifths.
- Tonicization of Relative Minor: Employs a minor ii-V (Am7b5-D7b9) to target Gm, providing a temporary shift to the relative minor key.
- Modal Interchange: Features an Abmaj7 (bVIImaj7), a subdominant minor substitute that adds harmonic color outside the diatonic Bb major scale.
- Chromatic Line Cliché: Incorporates a descending bass line over the vi chord (Gm-Gm/Gb-Gm/F) to create smooth voice leading during the bridge section.
Improvisation Focus Navigating secondary dominants using Mixolydian and Altered scales.
Difficulty Rating 3/5: The tune requires technical agility to manage rapid dominant cycles and alternating major/minor ii-V patterns at typical up-tempos.
