  • Frequent use of A7#9 (V7/vi) resolving to Dm7, establishing a strong secondary dominant-tonic relationship within the F major key.
  • Prominent ii-V-I progression to the subdominant, Cm7-F7-Bb7 (ii/IV-V/IV-IV), briefly shifting harmonic focus.
  • Complex dominant-chain Bm7b5-E7#9-A7#9 (iiø-V to A minor, followed by V7/vi), featuring interlinked ii-V movements and altered qualities.
  • Abundant use of altered dominant chords (e.g., A7#9, E7#9) and chromatic bass lines (A7/C#) for color and heightened tension.

Improvisation Focus: Altered dominant scales and arpeggios for navigating the frequent #9 chords and temporary tonal centers.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced). The sophisticated use of altered dominants, complex secondary ii-V progressions, and rapid harmonic rhythm demands significant improvisational agility.
