- The progression utilizes a #I°7 passing chord (G#dim7) to create chromatic bass movement between the Imaj7 and iim7 chords.
- Secondary dominants and their related iim7s (Dm7-G7) are used to tonicize the IV chord (Cmaj7), a staple of the AABA song form.
- The inclusion of Bm7b5 to E7b9 creates a minor ii-V-i pull toward the Am7 (the ii chord), adding sophisticated tension.
- Tritone substitutions or chromatic approach chords (Eb7 to D7) provide smooth voice leading back to the dominant.
Improvisation Focus: G Major Bebop Scale.
Difficulty Rating: 2/5: The harmonic structure follows predictable diatonic patterns and common jazz turnarounds, making it approachable for intermediate players.
