Harmonic Highlights:

  • G#07 functions as a chromatic passing diminished chord (Gmaj7 - G#07 - Am7), creating tension and smooth voice leading.
  • Backdoor dominant (F7-Gmaj7) and minor iv (Cm7-F7-Gmaj7) progressions are prominent, offering sophisticated harmonic resolutions to the tonic.
  • Eb7 acts as a tritone substitute for A7 (V7 of D7), generating a bVI7-V7 movement before the D7 chord.
  • Frequent secondary ii-V progressions (Dm7-G7 to C, Bm7b5-E7b9 to Am) drive temporary tonicizations to the IV and vi chords.

Improvisation Focus: Arpeggio outlining and judicious chord-scale application over rapid harmonic changes.

Difficulty Rating: 4 (Advanced Intermediate). The blend of standard changes with multiple substitutions and chromaticism demands a solid grasp of jazz harmony.
