- Uses a prominent minor plagal cadence (Abm6) to create a soulful, gospel-inflected resolution back to the Eb tonic.
- Features a secondary ii-V-i progression (Am7b5 – D7b9 – Gm7) that briefly tonicizes the mediant minor, shifting the tonal center away from Eb major.
- Employs chromatic voice-leading via a tritone substitute (Gb7 for C7) during the turnaround, facilitating a smooth descent from the iii chord to the ii-V.
Improvisation Focus
The Eb Blues scale, integrated with G Harmonic Minor to navigate the secondary ii-V-i modulations.
Difficulty Rating
