Harmonic Highlights:
- Establishes a unique minor-major sound (Am, Am/maj7, Am7) within C major, hinting at Lydian or Dorian minor inflections.
- Employs a series of non-diatonic chords (Ebmaj7, A7, Abmaj7) showcasing chromatic mediant movement and secondary dominant function (A7 as V/ii).
- Utilizes a backdoor dominant resolution (Bb9sus to C) preceded by a minor ii-V (Gm, Fm7) creating an altered pathway to the tonic.
Improvisation Focus: Melodic minor modes and their various derivations for navigating complex chromaticism.
Difficulty Rating: 5 (Advanced) The frequent non-diatonic chords, distant modulations, and varied dominant functions demand a sophisticated understanding of jazz harmony.
