Harmonic Highlights:

  • Features a direct modulation to the key of Gb major via a clear Abm7-Db7-Gbmaj7 (ii-V-I) progression.
  • Incorporates a backdoor dominant function with the Bbm7-Eb7 sequence resolving to Fmaj7, utilizing the bVII7 chord.
  • Includes a temporary tonicization of the relative minor, Dm, established by a concise Em7b5-A7-Dm7 (iiø7-V7-i) progression.
  • Utilizes a bII7 (Db7) as a tritone substitute leading to the V7 (C7) or directly to the tonic, adding chromatic dominant color.

Improvisation Focus: Navigating altered dominant scales and temporary key centers, particularly those involving bII7 and bVII7.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate) - The frequent modulations, backdoor dominant movements, and tritone substitutions require significant harmonic agility beyond diatonic playing.
