Harmonic Highlights
- The primary vamp establishes a modal C minor sound via i-ii-bIII-ii, notably avoiding a functional V7-I resolution back to Cm7.
- Dm7 functions frequently as a stable ii chord within the repeating progression, rather than strictly as a pre-dominant leading to V.
- A later section introduces Bb7 (bVII7) resolving to Ebmaj7 (bIII), functioning as V7/bIII, adding a brief dominant-quality shift.
Improvisation Focus C Dorian scale.
Difficulty Rating 2 (Beginner-Intermediate). The repetitive modal vamp and lack of rapid, complex chord changes simplify improvisation, making it accessible.
